Highlights
Discover the most vibrant emotions that nature has in store for you. Rafting is a perfect experience for those seeking adrenaline and adventure. Our journey begins in the majestic Andes Mountains, where the river originates and flows naturally until it reaches the impressive Potrerillos Reservoir, the starting point of our adventure. The constant rapids ensure thrilling moments throughout the descent. In summer, when the Mendoza River reaches its peak flow, it carries sediments and creates whirlpools and waves that form intense rapids. To culminate this unforgettable day, you will enjoy a delicious barbecue by the river, a unique gastronomic experience in an incomparable natural setting. Come and join this adventure that will leave you breathless

About Mendoza
Mendoza is a wine city of tree-lined avenues and irrigation channels on a dry plain, with the high Andes rising to the west.
Mendoza was largely rebuilt after the earthquake of 1861, which is why its streets are wide and its squares open. Plane trees shade the pavements, watered by old irrigation channels called acequias. Plaza Independencia sits at the centre with four smaller squares around it, and the great Parque General San Martín climbs to the Cerro de la Gloria, a monument with a view over the city.
Top-ranked sights in Mendoza: Puente del Inca (Inca Bridge), Uspallata, Aconcagua Provincial Park.
