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!

A must for whitewater enthusiasts First, the river itself is fantastic. Beautiful, clear blue. Never quite seen anything like it. From fun and splashy to fierce Class v rapids. Second, world class guides - here’s to Garrett, Whitney, and Stan. Third, meticulous attention to safety. I’m guessing the number of safety kayaks and catarafts outnumbered the guests. Fourth, the setting. Simply spectacular, not just northern Patagonia but where the camp is located - right along the banks of the Futaleufú. But it was the people - the guides, the staff, the wonderful Terri, Marc, and Lorenzo, and the other guests - that set this trip apart. If you can swing it - do it. I promise you won’t regret it.
