The Mendoza River
Adrenaline Rafting
Experience an exciting, moderate/hard difficulty
rafting adventure in the Mendoza River. Mendoza River is located in the province
of Mendoza, close to the vast mountains and lakes.
Rafting is a team sport, in which the entire crew in the boat row and position
themselves in a coordinated manner to balance their weight and stay afloat when
going through the river rapids. Beginners are recommended to remain in the center
of the boat, where there is less movement. Those who are somehow experienced and
prefer to row may stay in the front, whereas the most experienced generally stay
at the back. You will depart from Mendoza City to the town of Potrerillos,
in the mountains to begin the adventure. A
mini course and security talk will be given once you arrive in order to prepare
all adventurers and make sure everyone is ready to board. All needed gear
will be provided.
After the lecture,the group will hop on board, grab
the paddles and get ready to begin a 7.5 mile (12 km) route down the Mendoza River.
An experienced bilingual guide will always be on the boat, as well as a support
kayak accompanying your group along the way. You will then enjoy
lunch and share experiences with your rafting colleagues. The experience
includes an approximately 50 to 60 minutes rafting. The difficulty is of class
III/IV which varies depending on the time of the year and weather conditions. The
minimum age required for this tour is 12 years old and travelers have to know
to swim.
After the tour you will enjoy lunch in a beautiful setting
next to the Mendoza River.
