Guided Trips in Puelo
Guided packrafting and bikerafting trips on the Puelo River, Chilean Patagonia.
Packrafting in Puelo
Scoutingrios guided trips in Puelo take place within the Puelo River basin, one of the most iconic river systems in Chilean Patagonia, located in the Cochamó Valley.
These trips focus on packrafting and bikerafting, operating in small, personalized groups, adapted to the group’s experience level, river conditions, and daily objectives.
Each outing is designed to explore the territory both from the water and from the land, combining packraft navigation, river reading, and—when bikerafting is involved—cycling between different sections of the watershed in a dynamic and autonomous way.
Guided Tours on the Puelo River
Guided packrafting experiences on different sections of the Puelo River and Puelo Chico River.
Ideal for people without prior experience, as well as for those looking for a safe, guided outing, with a recreational, technical, or exploratory focus depending on the group.
Bikerafting on the Puelo River: Paddle and Pedal Patagonia
Bikerafting on the Puelo River is one of the most innovative tour formats in the area, combining cycling and packrafting to explore the watershed in an active and versatile way.
This format allows participants to travel by bicycle, carry it on the packraft, and continue paddling downriver, reaching areas that are not accessible using a single mode of transportation.
Bikerafting is designed for people with outdoor experience who are looking for a different way to explore Northern Patagonia.
The Puelo River: One of Chile’s Protected Rivers
The Puelo River has been officially designated as a Water Reserve, making it one of the protected rivers in Chile under this status, recognizing its high ecological, cultural, and natural value.
This designation seeks to preserve the river’s free-flowing character, its biodiversity, and its importance for local communities and Patagonian ecosystems.
Scoutingrios packrafting and bikerafting trips are conducted with full respect for this protected status, promoting a conscious relationship with the river, responsible use of the environment, and an experience that values the territory beyond the sporting activity.
Paddling the Puelo River is a unique experience, not only for its beauty, but for its significance as a protected river of Chilean Patagonia.
