Rafting and Wine

Heading towards the foothills of the Andes range through the winding National Highway 7, our trip begins with a fresh plunge into Mendoza River. After a warm up talk, we set off for an unforgettable rafting experience!

What make this sailing trip so exciting are the many rapids we’ll have to face during the river course. You will get as many runs down the river as time allows. Each trip down will offer new and exciting challenges as you become more confident paddlers and your guide becomes more determined to get you wet! 

Each run down the river lasts approximately 1 hour and half, and the rafting course is around 12 km in length. It is a steep, rocky course and the river is classed as a grade 3/4 (this is a worldwide accepted rating that grades the technical difficulty of rapids on a river. Grade 1 is gentle flowing water, and grade 6 is considered commercially un-runnable). Just one last detail, remember to smile for the camera on the way down!

After whetting your appetite, we journey back through the same path to the wine appellation closest to Mendoza, the Luján de Cuyo valley. The excellent soil and climate are a perfect match for growing Malbec. 

Lunch is at Bodega Decero. Relax and make yourself at home. Sip some of our favorite red wines and nosh on appetizers while gazing to the magnificence of the Andes. Dishes are inspired from authentic recipes, regional cooking techniques and fantastic ingredients. A selection of premium wines complements each course. Salud!
