Rafting in the remote Andes on a bright turquoise river is out next new adventure. We will start in Puerto Varas Chile,where a snow-capped volcano overlooks a large lake at the edge of town. If we arrive early, we will raft an exciting stretch of the Petrohue River. The next morning, we're off on a four-hour drive to Bariloche, Argentina, an area often compared to the Swiss Alps. Here we'll raft the Rio Manso and spend the night in a cabin deep in the Andes. We will float our way towards the Chilean border, and as we pass the town of El Bosun' we will switch to sea kayaks and cross Lago Pueloand enter Chile. As we spend the next several days paddling to the sea' we will stay in guest houses, at local farms, a lodge and camp out a couple nights. Our hosts will cook authentic Chilean dishes and treat us to the mouthwatering "asado", better known as the Chilean barbaque. Along the way we will soak in the Sotomo hot springs and to paddle out to Mari Meli Island, with its colony of sea lions. We end out trip at the tiny fishing village of Cochamo and return to Puerto Varas for our traditional farewell dinner.
