Beyond Expectations! An absolutely incredible trip!! It completely surpassed our very high expectations. The Patagonia landscape is absolutely beautiful, rafting on the Futaleufu is the best in the world and the Bio Bio Camp is out of a dream. Lorenzo and his wife, Terri, were phenomenal hosts. They and all of the guides and staff were warm, welcoming and a complete wealth of knowledge on the region and rafting. The accommodations are perfect for enjoying nature. You are protected from the elements with comfortable beds and privacy, while also having the wonderful experience of effectively being outside the entire trip. One note, the bathrooms and showers are shared. They are clean and close to the platforms, but worth noting for packing. Headlamp/flash light is a must for getting around camp after dark, but remember the sun doesn't go down until about 10 pm, its summer in the southern hemisphere!Most days start with yoga, then breakfast. Time on the water, sometimes lunch at camp or out on the go. Then opportunities for more time on the water or hiking or relaxing - hot tub, sauna, a massage. "The hot tub is hot and the beers are cold!" We found spending time at camp in the afternoons very relaxing. Themed dinners, fantastic dessert every night! Maybe a campfire or another drink before tucking in for bed. The Futaleufu River Bio Bio trip is an adventure in paradise. If you are considering this vacation, book it now. We cannot recommend it enough!We hope to go back someday!
Best adventure outfitter, hands-down The Zambezi Explorer trip was my third whitewater/multi-sport trip with Bio Bio, and there's no other company I'd entrust my safety (or life) to, especially on a challenging river like the Zambezi. Their guides are the best in the business, with the highest level of credentials with regard to safety, and experience, but they're also personable and fun, but always professional. This trip was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for me, and on every count, Bio Bio met and exceeded my expectations- their support staff and contractors in Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia, included. From the laidback ambiance of Imbabala Safari Lodge to the incredible experience of The Elephant Camp, the safari portions of the trip -especially our guides- were a highlight. Canoeing and rafting the Zambezi provided a lot of adventure, with our safety always being top priority, but everything is top-notch, from meals to campfire time. I appreciate the fact Bio Bio integrates cultural awareness and employs locals, and visiting a school providing us the opportunity to donate items to the kids. I've also found that BBX trips attract like-minded people- well-traveled, adventurous and fun. Over the last 12 years, BBX has given me some of my best memories, adventures and friendships.
Best Adventure Trip EVER!! The world has changed a lot since February 2020, however, we were pleased to note that BioBio's camp Futa remains a magical, pristine, abundantly welcoming, super-fun, and soothing place to glamp and adventure. Having joined the camp several years' ago, we wondered what a return trip would be like... would it be different? disappointing? too much the same? Quite impossibly, it was better than ever! Something that impressed us 'veterans' was that a majority of the river guides and staff were the same folks--a testament to the quality of people and leadership at BioBio. We wanted for nothing. The weather was perfect. The rivers were astoundingly beautiful. The food was AMAZING. The wine tasting and theme dinners were so much fun. And glamping on the banks of the Futa cannot be topped. Kudos to BioBio and their wonderful crew for crafting such a marvelous getaway. We definitely hope to return again...
