2.00The ideal time would be November, with much more water and strength due to the melting ice. The view is simply wonderful. The perfect transfer service. Equipment ok. What really catches on is the CVC-type environment, sheep following a lead, with the evident and typical S.P.P, the small power syndrome. If you have time, do some research, rent equipment (your own kayak) and car and enjoy the adventure alone or with your loved ones.
Great English speakers! Great experience!

5.00We hired for the Wild Boar Tourism and Adventure Enterprise (I got the data from the tourist information office). We were charged $7500 per person, being 8, we were released. We met at a Junín de los Andes Service Station and from there we went by caravan to the Enterprise base. We rafted for 8 km along the Chimehuín River. A photographer was on par with us taking pictures of all the tourists. At a certain point we threw ourselves off a small cliff. All very careful. Upon arrival we were greeted with an excellent snack: fried cakes, homemade bread, juices and infusions. Highly recommended. We spent an excellent day and the guides very attentive.
Amazing and fun for all ages

5.00Excellent excursion to the Chimihuin River. Beautiful place to go rafting despite the low water flow what is today. We were picked up at the right time, we crossed an asphalt and river road of about an hour. We arrived at the match point where Osky, Luz brilliant guides supplied us with all the indicated clothes (helmets, wetsuits, vests, everything in optimal condition). We go on a journey with the gomons a wonderful landscape and its rapids. The guides didactically explained how to perform the technique and mainly to the children of the care to be taken. At the end of the same, we were feted with a snack and we set out to return. Highly recommended. Excellent treatment from the guides and Pablo the driver of Lanin.
EXCELLENT!
