ABOUT THE RIVER
A rafting on the Grande River is the most beautiful and unexplored place in Argentina. Its waters descend from the andean peaks through glaciers and gorges made of lava from old inactives vulcanos, forming III, IV and IV+ rafting class rapids. Through the entire excursion is possible to see foxes, condors, wild pigs, otters, and ducks. The Grande River is also connected to the Barrancas River.
