Choose Your Daily Adventure Intensity

Our Pucón multisport trips are designed around daily activity choices, allowing guests to select their preferred pace while sharing the same basecamp, guides, meals, and evening experiences.

Guests may move between intensity options throughout the week.

Full adventure days with rewarding physical effort. Ideal for active guests who enjoy rafting, climbing, longer hikes, and sustained movement.

🔴 Advanced / High Intensity — Opt-In by Request

On select days and by request, experienced guests may opt into higher-intensity or more technical objectives.

These options depend on:

  • Conditions and safety assessments

  • Guide availability and group alignment

  • Additional logistics or support

Additional service charges may apply. Advanced options are never scheduled by default.

Pucon Kayak Retreat hosted our group for the multi-sport week. We had a variety of people from mild to wild. David and his guides, Haley, Blue and Veleida accommodated all our needs. From pick up to return from the airport. The riverside facility was marvelous. Food was outstanding, and the activities of the week were catered to our group. Everyone left enthused and hoping to return in the future.

Dave made everything everything super smooth as far as the logistics of kayak and Hilux truck rentals. The kayak options for rental had anything I personally wanted to paddle for the 3 weeks in Chile. I was very happy we had this truck, the roads in Chile are pretty rough and a car would not have been ideal. Dave was incredibly welcoming and helpful all around. Accommodations right on the Trancura are perfectly situated. I just got back and I am ready to go right back and do it again. Wouldn’t change a thing.

We just returned from a Multi-Sport week at Pucon Kayak Retreat and are ready to go back! David and his team are amazing. The week was packed with activities from kayaking and rafting to hiking and fishing, with relaxing at hot springs, shopping and dinner in Pucon too. Accomodations and food are perfect. Our guides were excellent - skilled, knowledgable and attentive to every detail.

Everything about this retreat experience was amazing. Although I have kayaked flatwater for years, I was new to whitewater. Our guides, Haley and Blue, were the perfect teaching duo. They helped me understand the dynamics of whitewater, both in theory and in practice. They knew the perfect balance between nudging me beyond my comfort zone without pushing too hard. It was a nice balance of feeling challenged yet safe. The authentic Chilean food was amazing. Sharing mealtime with staff and other guests each day was like being with family. The location, atmosphere and amenities were all top notch. The river suite was a perfect blend of luxurious simplicity. I slept so well each night listening to the river below--I was able to keep the windows and even the French doors open since there were no mosquitoes. The owner, Dave was flexible with our needs, great with communication, and has an obvious passion for what he does!
