The views from the top of this granite tower of Zeta Rapid, Laguito Azule and the surrounding canyon are exquisite. Participants can combine any part of the challenge course with horseback riding or any number of other activities. The morning is spent running challenging rapids and viewing spectacular northern Patagonian scenery. Lunch is a traditional Chilean asado prepared by a local farmer. After lunch we run some more rapids and arrive back at Campo Mapu Leufu, the base camp where the first two nights of the expedition were spent.
Today is one of the most impressive commercial rafting days in the world.
Within minutes of pushing off we enter the half-mile long Class 5 Terminator Rapid, one of the wildest commercially run Class 5 rapids in the world. Immediately below we run the impressive 15 foot waves of the Himalayas. Here the rapids flow together making nearly a mile and a half of nonstop Class 5 action. After the last rapid the canyon boasts some of its most spectacular scenery with grand vistas of towering mountains and glaciers. This morning we make the 3 hour drive back to the airport in Chaiten where we board the charter plane for the short scenic flight back to Puerto Montt.
