We set out to live a one-of-a-kind expedition: crossing the Andes by combining rafting and trekking, connecting Bariloche with the valleys of southern Chile.
Over 6 days, we venture deep into the Valdivian rainforest, raft down the Manso River to the border, cross lakes, explore the granite walls of the Cochamó Valley, and rest in one of the most spectacular landscapes of the Patagonian Andes.

An intense, complete, and wild expedition: a double border crossing, nights camping, and a free day in Cochamó to explore its natural pools, rock slides, and viewpoints.
