Mendoza River Rafting
Rafting descent on the Mendoza River in the Potrerillos area, with guide. Shared service including equipment and transfer from Mendoza.
The route departs from Mendoza city towards Potrerillos, deep in the Andes, following the course of the Mendoza River. At the base, the full wetsuit, helmet and life jacket are handed out, and a river guide explains the paddling manoeuvres and safety signals before entering the water.
The descent runs rapids that change in intensity with the season: from April to October the water presents class II and III stretches, and from November to March, with higher snowmelt flow, it reaches class III and IV. From the river you see the rock walls of the Potrerillos valley and the line of the Andes in the background. Effective paddling lasts about one hour within the four total hours of the programme.
