Summary: We had a fantastic time with Franco as our guide. It was fun and exhilarating, and we always felt safe. Our only wish was that we could have spent more time on the river, but the value for the price was outstanding!

Summary: Very fun rafting guides!! The rafting time was a little short, but the rapids were wonderful! I like that they extended the trip by adding a time for “very small cliff” jumping. The photographer was really great and affordable for digital photos.

Summary: Great river with amazing scenery. Liked the guides and their willingness to work with teenagers. The company is safety conscious but still has fun. Enjoyed our time one the river. Yes I think we hit most of the biggest waves. Great way to end our time in Chile.
