The Adventure rafting Petrohue tour is designed for travelers who want an exciting challenge in one of the most beautiful rivers of the Lake District. This Class III descent combines action, turquoise waters, and unforgettable scenery. The route begins in Ensenada, near Puerto Varas, inside the Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park. Because of this, participants enjoy a pristine ecosystem with abundant native forests and unique geological formations. Throughout the activity, you also experience the majesty of several volcanoes that dominate the landscape.
During the Petrohue rafting experience, the river shows its impressive character. Its crystal-clear water reveals deep tones of blue and turquoise, creating a stunning contrast with the green rainforest. As the descent continues, you face more than ten entertaining rapids, each with big waves that offer the perfect balance between excitement and safety. Meanwhile, the surrounding views include the Osorno, Calbuco, Puntiagudo, and Yate volcanoes, which rise sharply above the forest, adding an unforgettable backdrop.
Although this is a high-energy activity, the tour remains accessible to enthusiastic beginners. The guides teach essential paddling techniques before entering the river, which allows everyone to join with confidence. In addition, the rhythm of the descent alternates between fast rapids and calmer sections. Because of this, participants have time to enjoy the scenery, breathe deeply, and appreciate the natural beauty around them.
The full route covers approximately eight kilometers of exciting whitewater. Thanks to the combination of waves, turns, and small drops, the Adventure rafting Petrohue tour guarantees an unforgettable experience that stands out during any visit to Puerto Varas. Still, the activity remains safe and enjoyable for families with older kids, groups of friends, and solo travelers who want an authentic outdoor challenge.
