Trip of a Lifetime I have been traveling with Bio Bio for the past 12 years all over the world. Each trip has been fantastic but the Zambezi Explorer is at the top. From the safari camps to the river trips (the canoe safari and the adrenaline packed rafting of the class V big water below the Falls) this trip has everything you could wish for.The safari lodges are first class (we stayed at the Imbabala Safari Lodge and the Elephant Camp, both of which have luxurious accommodations as bookends to the time on the river.For the river sections, you camp on banks of the mighty Zambezi. The canoe safari is sedate when it comes to whitewater but makes up for that with sheer beauty and the unique experience a paddling past hippos, elephants, and crocodiles among the multitude of game you see above the Falls. The rafting is in warm water with huge class IV and V rapids. Bio Bio's guides are world-class and give you all the adrenaline you could want, in the safest manner possible.If you have a chance to experience the Zambezi with Bio Bio, don't hesitate. You won't regret it. I can highly recommend any trip with Bio Bio. Marc and Laurence (the owners) really take pride in what they offer and make sure that you will always have a memorable experience.

A truly magical experience Our Bio Bio Futaleufu experience was nothing short of fantastic. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience we hope to repeat in the future.We took the trip as a combination of a honeymoon and family vacation in February 2022. Our group of seven ranged in age from mid 20s to late 60s and everyone had a wonderful experience. We felt welcomed with open arms, treated as both valued guests and long-time friends, and consistently safe and comfortable in what felt like an oasis from the turmoil of the world outside of camp.A few things in particular stood out as truly exceptional:First, the team. Every single person was both an extremely skilled and qualified hospitality and river professional and consummate host. Lorenzo and Terry were the fearless leaders of camp, Jenner was our soulful and intuitive trip leader, Alex and Derick our skilled river guides, Meerko our tireless safety kayaker and instructor, and a whole other cast of characters who were always ready to help or hangout that includes Shana, Davito, Valentine, Whitney, Sky, Garrett, Rio, Italo, Carlos, Edgar, and many others.Second, the camp. It truly felt like an oasis set in one of the most beautiful places in the world. From the hot tub on the river to the sauna to the tent cabins overlooking the river, it was a sight to behold. We felt lucky to call it home for a week. The love and craft that went into creating it were evident throughout. Third, the river. The Futaleufu and the other rivers we rafted and kayaked were not only world class rapids, but also breathtaking in their surrounding beauty. Our guides were experts at the river. We felt completely safe despite the massive whitewater that we passed through daily due to both the skill of our guides, but also all the layers of safety from catarafts to safety kayakers meant to ensure that if something did go amiss, there were multiple people ready to quickly intervene.Finally, the overall experience. From the delicious food to the easy transfers to yoga in the morning to wine tasting before departure, we were consistently impressed by the attention to detail put into every component of the experience.We would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone who was looking for an adventure and chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of day to day life while reconnecting with nature and other humans.

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.

My first experience with Bio Bio Expeditions in Peru was simply perfection! I've traveled extensively with various adventure travel companies, and Bio Bio has been the best. We can't wait to join them for another adventure this December, this time in Chile and Argentina on the "Fu!"
