POPULAR. Pucon Creek Week
November 9 - 16, 2024
BEST DEAL. GET Chile’s BEST two weeks by adding second week of Claro Plus Nuble. We’ll drive you from Pucon to the Nuble and onward to the Claro.
Pucón Creek Week is becoming as popular as our flagship Claro +PLUS trips. Why? Pucón creeks and rivers are diverse offering a wider range of rivers and canyons, features, and learning opportunities. Basing at your Trancura riverside base kayakers have plush kayaker comforts and backyard rivers as good as kayaking gets. Logistically, we’ve done the homework so guests can ride with us from Pucon to the Claro +PLUS Nuble.
PUCON CREEK WEEK DESCRIPTION
Let’s face it. Experienced kayakers need features to boof, eddies to charge, waterfalls to charge, and rapids to challenge. Pucón surrounded by Andean peaks and multiple volcano drainages provides the world’s best clean features for boofing, stomping, tucking, hucking, charging, and spouting. If you really want to charge the stouts at optimal levels then you must come during the peak-season October and November flows.
- Got Boof? More rivers. More boofs. More experience.
- Ready. Or portage. Modules in values-based decision making.
- Life lessons in Chile canyons.
