From 2004 when the boys from LVM ran it for the first time this river become one of the classics in my home town (Pucon). This are the pics from my short visit to Chile this year in September-October, the water levels were not the best ones but I had a epic time paddling with the boys, was very cool to see that the kayak sport is getting bigger in Chile, more kayakers from Chile, more boats, more fun.
We follow Ian Garcia all the way down, he showed us the lines, this guy is spending more time than me in Pucon, probably he is already a Puconino, cool guy!.
Take a look at the pics and if you have not visit Chile yet, I tell you, you not gonna disapointed if you do so...Go to Pucon and fire it up, the water levels now are great...If you there try the lower gorge( you will need low water for that)
