The Maullín River is one of the great free rivers in the country and known as the Amazon of Chile, it still preserves much of its native vegetation. This is one of the greatest singularities of the river, since
that its bed is invaded by a swampy forest. Swamp forests are extraordinary ecosystems, which develop on wetlands, hosting a rich biodiversity in which wild flora and fauna of forests and aquatic ecosystems coexist.

Excellent experience I went for bird watching and it was excellent, as a guide we had Felipe who knows a lot about this, taught us flora and fauna more focused on birds A lot was learned, it was the first time we Kayaked and we will definitely repeat it

We had the best day of our trip so far! The river and its surrounds were lovely - clear, deep water as well as shallow parts with interesting flora, a steady current, beautiful surrounds and lots of birds to watch. Phillipe was a great guide with lots of info about the habitat and guidance about kayaking in this area. Between him and Steve the whole activity was a pleasure - really nice to chat with them at the end over pizza and a beer. Highly recommend this day trip.

A highly recommended tour. The guides are very dedicated and answered all the doubts I had. Wonderful experience and would repeat it again. Plus it was in the rain, which I loved.

Amazing experience! Ultra recommended, and we had no great prior knowledge. We went with my husband and kids, 16-14 years old. All very well organized, sure, a dream landscape. Thanks Esteban and Felipe! Tremendous hosts in this beautiful experience.

It was the first time we did a kayak ride and they had a lot of willingness and patience to help you in the activity, they pass all the equipment and are super friendly! Very nice place and little animals that can be observed along the river path!

Don’t even think about it, just book it. This was a fantastic tour and such a great way to spend the day outside. Andres was such a great guide, incredibly nice and made sure we were comfortable and having fun. The river is beautiful and is very calm so it’s just a relaxing trip down the river and so peaceful. They gave us a wetsuit and life jacket so all you really need is a swimsuit and towel for the day. The snack half way through and pizza at the end were very nice as well. 100% recommend if you are in Puerto Varas area for a few days.

When they talk about the magic of the south this is what I imagine, being with nature in the deep, the river and the views are very beautiful, the guide Andrés was very attentive and friendly, we hope to repeat this experience ✨

Genial!! A new experience that we loved. Gabi and Feli were super attentive and gave us a lot of confidence for our first time kayaking. Full safety equipment and safety talk before starting the activity. The route is great for beginners, and allows you to see a wide variety of wildlife. We would definitely do another activity with Cahuil Adventure!!!
