Rafting 12 km

DURATION: 8 hours
DEPARTURE: 09:00 – 17:30
DIFFICULTY: Moderate

The long run on the Mendoza River at Potrerillos: twelve kilometers of moderate and intense rapids, between 50 minutes and an hour and a quarter on the water.

IMPORTANT

There are three ways to get there: with our transfer from your accommodation, departing from the bus terminal, or on your own straight to the base.
No experience needed, but you must know how to swim.
The river's flow changes with the season, and so does the intensity of the rapids.

The Mendoza River comes down from the Andes with the snowmelt and, near Potrerillos, forms the best rafting circuit in the province. The twelve-kilometer run is the long descent: the one chosen by those who really want to paddle. At the base you get full equipment (wetsuit, jacket, helmet, life vest and paddle) and a safety briefing with the guide who will be in your raft. Then you head down to the river and the rapids begin, moderate to intense depending on the season's water level. Time on the water is between fifty minutes and an hour and a quarter. Afterwards there are changing rooms and time to hang out at the base, eat something by the river or do another activity before heading back. You can get there on your own or add the transfer: we pick you up at your accommodation, or you leave from the bus terminal with Andesmar.
