Most rides follow along the "senderos vecinales," or trails of the neighbors. This is an extensive network of trails and swinging bridges used by locals on horseback, oxcart, foot, and bikes to move through the remote regions of the Futaleufu River Valley in Patagonia Chile.
This is a series of spectacular rides, over four days, amongst the lakes, rivers, and old growth forests of the pristine and remote Futaleufu River valley. The nearest paved roads are hours away. E ach day riders are exposed to Patagonia nature in its wild splendor riding close to clear lakes and pristine rivers. At night riders return to the lodge and cabins near the village allowing them to interact with the real pioneer culture of the pueblo of Futaleufu. Grab your Spanish phrase book! The valley contains lots of exciting history from the days the pioneers who settled it, and many are still alive.
Expediciones Chile invites you to come explore what they call "the best kept secret of Patagonia," a magical place where hundreds of glacial lakes are connected by thousands of kilometers of pristine rivers, all flowing through the dramatic Andean Mountain range. Be enchanted by its natural rhythms, where condors soar in southern thermals high above turquoise rapids thundering through rarely explored granite canyons. Futaleufu means "great great river" in Chile's native Mapuche language and its reputation has made it one of the most coveted multi-sport destinations in the world.
