About this tour


We will begin our experience at approximately 9 am, leaving Santiago towards the Cajón del Maipo area, a spectacular Andean canyon located 900 meters above sea level in the Pre-Cordillera of Santiago, known for its natural beauty and adventure activities. The Maipo River originates as a mountain stream on the slopes of the Maipo Volcano, and from this point begins its descent and increase in flow.

 

Here we will meet the expert rafting instruction team, who will give us a brief safety briefing before starting the activity to ensure the proper development of this experience.

 

After receiving the necessary instruction from our team, we are ready to enjoy 14 kilometers of pure adrenaline.

 

During the descent through the waters of the Maipo River, we will be able to face the challenge of navigating from moderate levels to the fastest, undoubtedly the most exciting. The descent takes about an hour, so on the way back to Santiago, you`ll have time to enjoy a delicious lunch along the way or eat a typical empanada (not included).

 

This is the dose of excitement and adrenaline your trip needs. We`ll be waiting for you.

A rafting trip on the Maipo River includes everything you need for an exciting and safe experience.

The best time to raft the Maipo River is generally between October and April, when weather conditions are most favorable. During this period, seasonal rains ensure the river's flow is suitable for rafting, thus enhancing the experience.

However, it is advisable to check with local operators, as river conditions can vary depending on rainfall.

Rafting on the Maipo River can be safe for families, including children, as long as the minimum age recommendations and instructions provided by expert guides are followed.
