It was a fantastic trip! - We had an amazing experience with this tour operator. The pickup was very efficient. The rafting guide was really great! We had to walk a stretch of the river because it was way too scary. They dropped us off quite close to our hotel. All in all it was a great day!!!

Rio Chili adventure with teens - Our family of four just got back to our hotel after a memorable rafting trip down Rio Chili this morning . Our guide Daniel was amazing and encouraging throughout the whole journey. Kanuwa Rafting provided all the equipment needed (and even had a wet suit that fit my big old butt!) They had simple changing rooms, but I recommend arriving in your bathing suit. All the guides were friendly and helpful climbing across rocks along the river. Jose the driver also did a great job navigating the streets in the passenger van. Great outfit! Highly recommend.
