Rafting Maipo River

Rafting Maipo River

One of the most exciting and dramatic ways to explore the beauty of the Chilean Andes is by whitewater raft.  In addition to its magnificent scenery and delicious wines, Chile is world famous for its whitewater rivers and hosts thousands of visitors each year who come to test themselves against its world class whitewater.

The Maipo River is usually among the first stops for whitewater enthusiasts because of its challenging class 3 and 4 whitewater and its close proximity to Santiago .

Each of our inflatable rafts which make the descent is designed and built for professional use and is equipped with modern whitewater safety equipment. Each raft is under the control and supervision of a trained river guide, and each of our guests is fitted with a special whitewater rafting life preserver, whitewater helmet, rafting wetsuit and splash jacket.  Our guides are trained to take “first timers” on the trip and will quickly put you at ease and have you riding the rapids like a pro… in fact over 70% of our guests experience the Maipo as their very first whitewater rafting trip.
