I've seen many spectacular places on this planet, but rafting on the Futa with this crew was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. The guides, the support staff, the food, the views, the vibes, the EVERYTHING exceeded my expectations by miles. And the Futa....well words can't quite meet her might and grace. She is a rowdy river but she will grant you the ride of a lifetime if you're humble enough not to forget who is boss.

Patagonia - A spectacularly beautiful place, only made better by the wonderful people who work there! Would highly recommend if you're feeling adventurous.

An experience that defies words, images, video, expectations, and any manner of hype and promotion. Just go. You will spend the rest of your life hoping and working to go back.

Two of us just returned from a week with BBX on the Futuleufu. Fantastic! But you must know this is not the normal multi-day river trip. It's a tremendous base camp from which numerous activities are possible each and every day: rafting different segments of the FU is central on both easy and much more challenging water, but horseback riding, short and longer hikes (some spectacular), and flyfishing are all in order--with small groups ranging from two to twenty. The guides are tremendous and each brings both global experience (Zambesi, Peru, western US, Bhutan) and special skills (professional yoga instruction, two amazing successful professional musicians, etc). The camp itself is special: hot tubs, sauna, separate library, individual semi-isolated tents on rain-sheltered platforms, home-cooked meals on-site twice daily. To repeat, this is not the usual multi-day river trip with successive daily stops, but it is multiple days of remote outdoor activity, all with special people from a special spot on a great river and a couple of its tributaries. We're going planning to book another different trip with BBX and we're planning to return to BBX on the Fu next year

Best week ever! An absolute MUST DO!! This trip exceeded expectations in absolutely every single way! TLDR - If you are contemplating booking this trip, DO IT NOW. -Organization: Biobio and staff are incredibly organized. Every detail in your travel to Northern Patagonia is carefully thought of and they made the trip to Patagonia simple and stress free!-Lodging: Excellent!! Beautiful tents right on the river with a queen sized mattress and everything you could need to be comfortable. Bathroom facilities are shared, but clean and always tended to! There is HOT showers which are perfectly refreshing after a day on the river. There is a sauna, two jacuzzis, bar and off course the rope swing which is a fun way to end the day! -Food: Lets be honest, food can make or break an experience and every single meal here is top notch. The kitchen staff is amazing. Every morning you are greeted with fresh coffee, homemade yogurt, granola, usually an egg dish, with homemade, still warm, fresh bread. Lunch is usually riverside and was always delicious. Dinner is next level incredible. Every single meal was an absolute delight. Fresh as can be, full of South American flavors and overwhelmingly delicious with wine every night. - The Futa: I have been dreaming of her since we returned home. What an indescribable, beautiful place. This river is majestic and it was a gift to explore her. Ever if you are not a white water enthusiast, you will be sure to absolutely love every second on the water if you are an adventure enthusiast. The rapids, the views, the team, all incredible. This is some big white water, but never once did I feel unsafe. They have more safety kayaks and catarafts than they do rafts with guests. Any time there was a flip or a spill, safety was there immediately! -The STAFF: Lorenzo, Terri, Stan, Diego, Derek, Skye, Whitney, Elena, Loren, Joe, Tilo - and so many more were just the BEST. You can feel everyone's love for the river, the place and their job. Everyone was so kind, so fun and just a joy to be around. They are incredibly skilled and talented individuals who make this trip what it is. Thank you to everyone on the Futa and at BioBio for your warm welcome and for sharing your love of Patagonia and white water with us. We can't wait to go back and see you again soon! Hopefully we will meet on the Zambezi!
