Kayak and Rafting
The Cautín
River is excellent for
Kayaking and Rafting.
This river, pristine at this stage of its journey to the
sea, has its headwaters by the Lonquimay Volcano.
Ranging in degrees of difficulty from grade 5 to a quick, smooth
flow, it offers something for every Kayaker.
From Malalcahuello to „Piedra Cortada“, the Cautín has a
quick flow. Its most
difficult span, which includes spots rated 5, extends from Piedra
Santa to the Salto de la Princesa waterfall.
From Salto de la Princesa to the
Manchuria
Bridge, the river can be
generally rated 3, with one section in the fourth-degree range, at
the Salto del Indio waterfall.
From the Manchuria Bridge on down, you will find several spots of
third-degree difficulty, and then a more peaceful flow between the Cautín
Bridge
and Rari Ruca.
Mountain bike
With its countless gravel roads, the Cautín
Valley
invites exploration by mountain bike.
Aside from national parks, there are many other enchanting
destinations,
such as Salto del Indio, Salto de la Princesa and Salto
Negro waterfalls;
Río Blanco Valley,
or incomparable Laguna Blanca are surely one-of-a-kind experiences.
