Kayak Rio Fuy and Pucon Rivers
CANYONS, CREEKS, WATERFALLS…
Kayaking Chile’s Upper Fuy Basalt Canyon
Rio Fuy is like a real-world Ewok fantasy land. We’re serious, a giant Ewok architected spiraling tree hotel is the center-piece of one of Chile’s most outrageous eco-parks right at the Las Leonas section of waterfalls. Structures in this area match the magic of the forests, lakes, volcanos, glaciers, and canyon drainages.
Meanwhile, the Lago Neltume is a narrow lake extending from the Argentina frontera collecting annual glacial melt. You will paddle out of this warm water lake with a view of glaciers into the clear blue yonder. The short lived Rio Fuy (15 KM) makes it’s way through a handful of canyons and three river sections before it drains into Lago Panguipulli. More than 20 classic drops including the las Leonas (the Lions) triple drop section make the Fuy a kayaker’s paradise. Kayakers may also paddle a lower section of the Middle Fuy below the class V canyon. And the Lower Fuy.

Middle Fuy Canyon Below Class V Canyon
During January the Middle Fuy canyon is just too much volume and class V for our trips. Although, we know a trail to hike into the canyon just below the gnarliest class V rapids offering class III to IV turquoise boofs, and one hell of a spectacular canyon experience. Approximately, 3 KM long this section receives a boost of water from two glacial fed creeks.
Lower Fuy (III to IV)
Easiest of the Fuy sections begins where the Middle Fuy ends. Lower Fuy laps add to the boofing and whitewater charging for another 6 KM. Plus views of the glacier and rapids are worth it.
Pucon Rivers and Sections
Our back yard Upper and Lower Trancura offers the best advanced whitewater in the area. We’ll mix Upper Trancura, Upper Palguin, Maichin rivers as warmer uppers for our Fuy road trip.
