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. Challenging. Terrifying. Awesome. All words describing ust our backyard Trancura laps. Trancura laps are so convenient that they are great to match with a local park and huck. But only if you live at our riverside base.

Daily you will have an agenda to run waterfalls and lap challenging rivers safely. We’ll get you out on the Pucón’s best runs whether that be laps on the Upper Nevados, a park and huck 10 meter special, high water fun laps on the Trancura, or a road trip to a specialty run like the Rio Blanco 10 meter stout.

Runs may include. Salto Blanco; Upper & Lower Trancura; Upper Nevados; Salto Coilaco; Upper, Middle, Lower Palguins; Upper or Lower Fuy; Maichin Canyon; Upper or Lower Puesco.

Day 1.

Arrival to Temuco (ZCO) between 11 AM – 5 PM OR Drive from Claro Plus Trip. Boat outfitting and welcome introduction. We’ll take an easy afternoon warmup lap & skills assessment as your welcome to Chile!

Day 2 – 7.

River options depend on various water levels. Topping our priority list is Nevados. This classic gem is so good we tend to drop everything to go play on the Nevado’s canyon of boof fest, slides, and three 20 foot high waterfalls. This is not always possible, so based on the group paddling goals and levels, we’ll have morning discussions the day’s running options, safety protocols and kayaking techniques.
