Questions about Canyoning Río Correntoso

What is the minimum age for Río Correntoso?

Twelve. It is the only Patiperros Adventure route open to under 18s, which is why families and first time canyoners pick it. You do two 10–12 metre rappels, with a guide waiting at the bottom and a safety line controlled from above.

Is Río Correntoso good for beginners?

Yes. It is the route to start with: a canyon hike plus two 10–12 metre rappels, with a technical briefing before the first descent. No previous experience is needed, and swimming is only required on Saltos de Pocolpén.

Are there changing rooms at Río Correntoso?

Yes. There are changing rooms at the trailhead for before and after the trip. The neoprene suit and booties, harness and helmet are included; just bring swimwear, a towel and dry clothes for the ride back.

What should I bring?

Swimwear to wear under the neoprene, a towel and a change of dry clothes for the ride back. We provide all the technical gear: harness, helmet, neoprene suit and booties. Transport from Lincoyán 361, accident insurance, a seasonal snack and the photos from your trip are included too.

What happens if it rains?

Trips run as long as the weather and the river allow it safely; you get wet canyoning anyway, and the neoprene suit keeps you warm. If weather or water levels make it unsafe, we call the trip off before it starts and you choose between a new date and a full refund.

How do I cancel a booking?

Cancel up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Within 24 hours, or if you don't show up, there's no refund, except for the right of withdrawal under Chilean consumer law 19.496. If we cancel because of weather, the river or not reaching the three person minimum, you choose a new date or a full refund.
