Spectacular sea kayaking in the Cochamó region, or northern Patagonia, explores spectacular views of glaciar-capped volcanoes, waterfalls, sea lions and Austral dolphins all within the Reloquavi Estuary. Or choose to row between the steep mountains on the Tagua Tagua Lake and approach a huge waterfall that crashes directly into the lake.

River Kayaking


"The Cochamó River is one of the coolest runs I have ever done. Continuous, gradient of between 250 to 300 feet per mile, eddy hopping through big boulder gardens, all punctuated by occasional bigger drops... It was fantastic." North American kayaker Mike Thurbs

Few have kayaked from deep within the valley down the Cochamó River to the sea. Those who have say its some of the most difficult, yet most spectacular and beautiful rapids and channels that exist. Read Mike Thurbs' article about his experience:
