The descent down the Atuel and Mendoza Rivers on rafts is now a tourist brand in the province of Mendoza. All you need to know is that in this group sport each of the crew combines efforts, adrenaline and adventure. Mendoza is an ideal place for rafting, thanks to the decline on inflatable boats in its water flows of miscellaneous difficulty. This adventure sport is ideal for groups or families as well as for individuals, who share the interest with other tourists, housed in Mendoza’s Hotels.
Lots of companies provide the service in three regions: the first is Cacheuta, followed by Potrerillos and Uspallata. Cacheuta is the closest to Mendoza city, and it is known for its thermal springs and natural beauty. Uspallata and Potrerillos are next in terms of the distance. The activity is performed on the Mendoza River with programs for beginners, intermediates and experts. In each case the descents are done with a guide on board and others who follow the crew in a kayak.
The second zone is on the southern side of the province, in the department of San Rafael and rafting is performed on the Atuel River waters. This site is known as Valle Grande and it is the main tourist circuit of the area. Services are the same but the Mendoza River is the one recommended for experts.
In both areas rafting can be mixed with other sports like kayaking, horseback riding, trekking, mountain biking and 4x4. In all cases, companies make the transfer of passenger’s hotel-Atuel-Mendoza-hotel.
Since several years, Potrerillos has been one of the leading adventure tourism centers in Argentina, located in the department of Luján de Cuyo and 62 kilometers from the city of Mendoza. It welcomes visitors and adventurers of different nationalities in any time of the year.
The tour begins at the Mendoza’s Hotels, continues along National Route No. 7 in the foothills of the Andes, discovering all its scenic beauty, which can be explored through various adventure excursions.
