Kayaking Trip in Chile 2011, Billy Harris

Put in at Choshuenco

Adventure Chile


I flew into Chile last year with the help of Pucon Kayak Hostel to tour and prepare for a 2011 Trip into the heart of Chile.  The Trip is a river running based tour with an emphases on the Country's culture, its views and its food.  I joined Pucon Kayak Hostel and coached river running to children on rivers in the Pucon area.  This tour allowed me to get a comfortable feel for the culture, the safety of the country as well as the logistics.  Each step of the way will be taken care of. I run all the logistics with the help of my guide, and the guide and  I know the rivers well.  The following shows a break down of the trip, dates and even where to go for the best prices on flights.  I need 8 people to run the trip.  So far I have 6 interested parties.  I will need a bit more time to make sure that all the logistics are set up in Pucon before being able to pin down a min by min itinerary, but the majority of the leg work has been done.  I am looking for people who can roll, want an adventure and would like to go to Chile.  A play by play is listed below for the most part.  The flights are about 1200 to 900 $, the trip, travel coaching is 2000.00.  If you follow the expedia site, the total cost about should be about 3000$.  That includes everything but 3 meals.
