Gourmet Rafting

In the morning, our wine specialist guide will collect our guests for transfer to the town of Potrerillos, 50 kms from the city of Mendoza. Swap your everyday clothing for a provided neoprene suit, life vest and helmet, and receive safety instructions before making your way to the river for your 1 hour rafting adventure. You'll travel approximately 8 miles (13km) on the rapids with your guide. Then climb aboard your river raft and get ready to experience the white-water thrill of rafting! The rapids on the Mendoza River are intermediate level (Class 2/3), rising to Class 3/4 in the summer months – perfect for first-timers.

The continual rapids provide constant action throughout the decent. High summer flows, chalk-full of sediment, bring huge holes and haystacks. Low winter flows run clear with a natural slalom course of exposed rocks. Safety kayakers join the group for additional support.

After your activity, you will have time to enjoy a wonderful visit and gourmet lunch at Ruca Malen Winery, on your way back to Mendoza city. From the foothills of the Andes Mountains, the focus of Ruca Malen is producing wines that speak of the land and their commitment to the environment. There, you will taste their entire wine list, including their famous and iconic "Kinien". The dining room is located inside a glass room in the vineyards with a view of the Andes. The menu is amazing and the courses are universally excellent, with clever taste combinations, great presentation and appropriate wine matching.
