For decades, expert kayakers have been drawn to Chile’s clean waterfalls, basalt canyons, and pristine rivers. Surrounded by Andean peaks along the Ring of Fire epi-center, the volcano multiplies drainages. That means more 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, NOV-DEC flows.

If you are an advanced kayaker keen to go expert this is your trip. Pucon’s rivers and creeks provide the best advanced instructional grounds bar none. Just ask the world champions alum from World Class Academy and Keeners. Did we mention we host them too?

Pucón Creek Week is for experienced kayakers ready to improve and test skills on kayaking Chiles best rivers, basalt canyons, and waterfalls. Expert kayakers get remarkable creek coaching, access, transportation, Chile’s best equipment, and run Pucon’s drops safely. Plus, we’ll feed and lodge you riverside on the Rio Trancura. Fun.
