Pure Adrenaline: Black Mountain Rafting Adventures on the Mendoza River
Group tour
Take on the foamy whitewater Class III/IV rapids of the Mendoza River, fed by crystal-clear meltwater rushing down from the Andes.
Our rafting experience kicks off with a morning hotel pickup, as we head to the rafting base next to the Mendoza River. Once we arrive, we’ll be given a short course on rafting and a security talk to prepare us for our upcoming adventure. Next it will be time to don our gear, grab our oars, and hop on board our rafts!
Our rafting route will cover approximately 15 miles (25 kilometers) as we head down the mighty Mendoza River. Our experienced guide will always be in the raft with us, and a support kayak will follow, providing security as you enjoy your rafting adventure.
This river and foam-infused experience will last around 3 hours (we’ll be rafting for 2 hours, then make a stop for lunch, and after that do another hour of rafting), and includes plenty of challenging rapids for the experienced rafter and the beginner, alike. So ready yourself to get wet and feel that adrenaline rush as you take on the rapids of the mighty Mendoza River!
Our rafting adventure will draw to an end with the satisfaction of having conquered the rapids of the Mendoza River!
Before returning to our hotel we’ll have about 1 hour and a half to relax at our base next to the Mendoza River.
