Chile, the prefect get away for any creek boater, who is locked into a cold northern Winter dreaming of horizon lines and clean drops.The southern Summer is become a very popular destination for intermediate and advanced kayakers in last years. In Chile, you get an astonishing variety of clear rivers, full of whitewater with clean drops to suit all. The rivers are long and at times remote, so the only way to enjoy this amazing white water is a road trip, from Santiago to Pucon, taking in all the great runs. |

Group Composition |
|||
| The trip will be led by an experienced Gene17kayaking appointed trip leader. In selecting suitable leaders, we not only look to ensure that they have the relevant qualifications but we also ensure that they have an excellent track record of white water paddling from around the world. Whilst qualifications and experience are essential requirements, we also make sure that our leaders have the right temperament to lead a trip group comprised of individuals who have a range of previous experience and expectations. The leader is a vital contributor to the enjoyment and well-being of the trip members and he or she will be there to deal with any unexpected problems. To that end, we aim to provide a leader who will make the trip both successful and enjoyable throughout.
Our leaders hold current wilderness first aid certificates and have experience of dealing with remote river related medical conditions. We will take a maximum of 6 paddlers on each trip, although the number may well be less than this. With every 3 paddlers we have on the trip, we’ll have a highly experienced Gene17kayaking Teacher/Guide. |

Experience Required |
|||
| Chilean Adventure takes place on Class IV whitewater. The Chilean Adventure is suitable for experienced paddlers who are able to paddle for 4 – 6 hours in a day on Class IV. Generally the rivers are accessible with far road access, and there will be some exposed terrain. This trip begins on an easier section of whitewater, but will soon reflect conditions expected at the grade. Participants should therefore expect to be in a river environment during peak runoff for sometimes extended periods of time. You are welcome to Contact Us, if you would like to discuss the trip in more detail. |
