What To Expect
While Mendoza is best known for its wine, the beautiful region is also a prime playground for adventure seekers. The tour begins with pickup from your Mendoza hotel and a scenic drive through historic vineyards to arrive at the town of Potrerillos. A local restaurant serves as your base camp for the day, complete with bathroom and locker facilities and river views. Change into a provided neoprene suit designed to keep you comfortable when you get soaked out on the river, and gear up with a helmet, vest and paddle. After a safety orientation and brief training from your guide, hop aboard an inflatable raft and set off to test your mettle on the Mendoza River. As you travel approximately 8 miles (13 km) down the river, navigate your way through mostly class II rapids (though rising water levels can lead to class III or IV rapids during the summertime). No experience is necessary, as your guide will provide instruction and tips during the ride.After your triumph over the churning waters, change into dry clothes back at base camp and enjoy an afternoon of leisure time in Potrerillos. Explore the town on your own, or add on an optional adventure activity, such as a zipline tour, trekking, or rappelling. You can also choose to return to Mendoza early (hotel drop-off is not included with this option).
