KAYAKER TIP.  Add Kayaking Chiles Rio Claro Plus DISCOUNT!

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.
