Rafting on the Trancura River

You don't need any previous experience to enjoy rafting! We offer different difficulty levels so you can choose the adventure that suits you best. From the adrenaline of the Trancura Alto and the thrill of the Trancura Bajo to our Family Float on the Liucura River, a calm option that's perfect for the whole family. Our professional guides are with you the whole way, giving you the instructions and gear you need for a safe, fun and unforgettable experience.

For rafting, bring a change of clothes, a swimsuit, sunscreen, and a towel. The water gear is included, and your guide hands it out before you get on the river. The change of clothes is for afterwards: everyone gets wet on the Trancura, even on its calmest stretch.

Not necessarily! Rafting can be enjoyed even in the rain, and it often makes the adventure even more fun!

That said, our guests' safety always comes first. If river or weather conditions aren't safe, the trip may be cancelled or rescheduled.

The main difference is the intensity of the rapids and the level of adrenaline.

Trancura Alto rafting (Class IV): The most intense and challenging option, with bigger, more exciting rapids. Ideal if you're after an adrenaline-packed adventure. For ages 12 and up, and you must know how to swim.

Trancura Bajo rafting (Class II–III): A calmer route, but you'll still feel the adrenaline. It mixes fun rapids with time to enjoy the scenery and nature. For ages 8 and up, and you don't need to know how to swim.

Both trips are led by professional guides and include all the safety gear you need.

CLP 40,000 per person on the Trancura Bajo and CLP 50,000 on the Trancura Alto. A private raft costs CLP 220,000 on the Trancura Bajo (up to 8 people), CLP 250,000 on the Trancura Alto (up to 6) and CLP 220,000 on the Family Float (up to 8). Transport from Pucón, guide and gear are included.

The trip takes about 3 hours, on both the Trancura Alto and the Trancura Bajo. That includes transport, handing out the gear, the safety briefing and the run down the river.

Absolutely! At Sol y Nieve we have options to enjoy the adventure as a family.

Trancura Bajo rafting (Class II–III): Great for families with kids aged 8 and up. Fun rapids, excitement and beautiful natural scenery.

Family Float on the Liucura River (Class I): A calm trip designed for the whole family, including the little ones. We float on gentle water surrounded by nature, on a safe and fun route.

Because adventure is better as a family!

At Sol y Nieve we have different options depending on age and how much adventure you're after:

Trancura Alto rafting (Class IV): Ages 12 and up.

Trancura Bajo rafting (Class II–III): Ages 8 and up.

Family Float on the Liucura River (Class I): No minimum age, perfect for the whole family, including the little ones.

It depends on the trip you choose:

Trancura Bajo rafting (Class II–III): You don't need to know how to swim.

Family Float on the Liucura River (Class I): You don't need to know how to swim, since it runs on calm water.

On all our trips we provide life jackets and the safety gear you need, and our professional guides are with you at all times.

Absolutely! At Sol y Nieve you can book a whole raft to enjoy the adventure with just your family or friends.

Trancura Alto rafting: CLP 250,000 per raft, up to 6 people.

Trancura Bajo rafting: CLP 220,000 per raft, up to 8 people.

Family Float on the Liucura River: CLP 220,000 per raft, up to 8 people.

It gets rescheduled. If the weather or the river flow doesn't allow the trip, we let you know on WhatsApp and find another date for your group. That's why it's best not to leave rafting for the last day of your stay: that way there's room to move it to another day in Pucón.

At the Sol y Nieve office, Lincoyán 361, in downtown Pucón. Transport to the river leaves from there, your guide hands out the gear before you get on the water, and you come back to Pucón afterwards. There are two departures a day (10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.).

You can book on our website quickly and easily: pick the date and group size, and the Book button opens WhatsApp, where we confirm your spot and tell you how to pay. You can also book and pay in person at the Sol y Nieve office in Pucón.

Message us on WhatsApp at +56 9 6878 1242 with your name, the activity and the date of your trip. We'll reply in the same chat with the terms of your booking and, if you prefer, find you another date. The sooner you let us know, the more options there are to reschedule.
