Half-day Petrohué River rafting from Puerto Varas with wetsuits, helmets, hotel pickup, and big views along the way in Vicente Pérez Rosales NP.

“We booked this last minute as another company unexpectedly cancelled our rafting excursion. The team at Alsur Expediciones was exceptional, and we had the privilege of spending the day with Gerardo, Claudio, and Favian. All were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. They did a wonderful job of ensuring a safe and memorable time on the river. We highly recommend booking with this company. The rafting was exciting and the views of nature were breathtaking, but what made it truly special was how well we were treated by the staff. Thank you guys for a memorable experience!!!-Michael+Emma”
