"X marks the fun spot, and this qualifies with both high adventure and grand luxury on the Rio Futaleufu." -Newsweek International

We offer a wide variety of luxury adventure travel options. From adrenaline-packed whitewater rafting in Chile on the Futaleufu River to family, wine and multi-sport adventures, we have an expedition to meet your adventure needs and desires. All you have to do is choose an expedition!

“The best of the best: A world-class lodge on a world-class river. I was impressed by the professionalism of the guides, the dedication of the staff, the attention to safety, and the sheer luxury of the experience. The level of comfort afforded in such a wild and remote setting was stunning. And the Futaleufu is one of those rare natural treasures that, like Patagonia itself, exceeds its considerable hype. It's a river that gets in your blood and stays there.” -
Joe Kane, author of Savages and Running The Amazon

Adventure travel in Patagonia is simply the best! Imagine a day of adrenaline, excitement and adventure followed by the luxuries of hearty, healthy food and fine wine. Perhaps a massage just to conclude yet another perfect day. You're not dreaming, you're with the best adventure travel outfitter in the area!

Before whitewater rafting and kayaking arrived in the small town of Futaleufu, Chile, the heart of Chilean Patagonia was nearly untouched by the outside world. With its namesake river now world renowned by aficionados of rafting and angling, the 1,000 year-round residents of the town welcome adventure travelers from all over the globe. Futaleufu comes from the Mapuche language meaning Futa (Big) and Leufu (River). It is a land where time seems to have stood still, where you feel you have been dropped into the magical realism of a Garcia-Marquez novel, where cows, horses and hay carts intermingle with 60's era Ford pickups. Futaleufu lies 45 minutes south of Puerto Montt by charter flight and only 10 kilometers from the Argentine boarder.

We provide exciting adventure travel vacations with luxurious amenities. After you've spent the day paddling hard down the Futaleufu or fly-fishing the Espolon, you'll want to be pampered. Our relaxing yet rustic base camp in wild, remote Patagonia offers just that.

Our pick up service delivers you directly to our resort. At our 175-acre riverside ranch in Patagonia, you'll live in concert with the calming rhythms of the Futaleufu Valley. At night you'll sleep in a bungalow nestled in the lush terraces overlooking the Futaleufu River. Each offers its own terrace complete with armchairs where you can sit and enjoy the incredible vistas.

ADDITIONAL AMENITIES
After an exciting day of adventure, come to our riverside spa to relax. Sit in our wooden hot tub while listening to the hum of the river beside you. Indulge in a soothing massage from one of our on-staff massage therapists to loosen your muscles after an invigorating day of whitewater rafting, hiking, horseback riding, or any other of our numerous adventures. Recline beside the fireplace or enjoy a drink in our unique bar and lounge. All the services and amenities at our spa are included at no charge to you.

DINING
The Quincho, or dining area, offers dramatic views of the river and the surrounding valley. It is in the quincho where the meals are offered and the
guests are treated to an exquisite cuisine prepared by our international Chef. Because we believe in a healthier lifestyle and a healthier planet, we
do our best in providing quality dining where most of the vegetables and greens come from our gardens and greenhouses where they are grown using only 100% organic sheep fertilizer.

Our bungalows are one of the most distinguishing features. Inside you will find a level of comfort unmatched by any other adventure outfitter in the
region. Foam pads with sleeping bags are replaced by plush beds with down comforters, feather pillows and supple sheets. Crowded spaces are replaced by bedside tables, storage areas for your personal belongings, and plenty of room to stretch your adventurous muscles. In the morning, you can slip into one of the soft organic cotton robes that are provided for your stay. Each bungalow sleeps two, perfect for couples. Singles may choose to share or reserve a private bungalow if space allows.

Comfort In All Climates:
Patagonia is well known for its unpredictable weather, capable of traversing all climates in the span of a day. No matter what the conditions are
outside, our bungalows and enclosed Quincho ensure that you return from your day's adventure to an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. Each bungalow is fashioned after traditional African safari lodges with canvas and wood walls fixed to a solid foundation. This design works hand in hand with our high beds and down comforters to give you a night of rest oblivious to outside wind and rain. Bathroom facilities are shared - women have their area and men have theirs

Your safety is our first priority. We believe nothing is as important as your safety, and that's why we employ only the best international adventure guides to lead you on your adventure travel trips in Patagonia. They are highly trained individuals with thousands of river miles and a minimum of ten years experience. They have worked in remote places all over the world and are certified in wilderness medicine and swift water rescue.
