The Experience

You start early, picked up from your Mendoza hotel and driven to Potrerillos. Once there, a safety briefing and your guide walk you through the first activity. If you've chosen rafting, you'll tackle the rapids of the Mendoza River with a paddle and a helmet. If canopy, you'll clip into a harness and slide between platforms high in the trees. If trekking, you'll walk natural mountain trails on foot. The guide handles the instruction; you handle the doing.

At midday you break for lunch at the base, with views of the mountains and time to catch your breath before the second activity. You pick a different one from the first—so if you rafted the rapids, you might zip through the canopy next, or walk the trails instead. The guide stays with you through both, and all the equipment switches over between activities without you having to think about it.

By afternoon you're back in the van heading to your hotel in Mendoza. The whole day—both activities, the guide, the gear, the transfers—is included. You show up ready to move; the logistics are already done.

What’s included

• All equipment for your chosen activities.
• round-trip hotel transfers from central Mendoza.

Is this one for you?Choose rafting if you want to be in the water and moving fast; pick canopy if heights and speed appeal more; pick trekking if you want to walk and see the landscape. You can combine any two, so pair the one that excites you most with a second that balances it—adrenaline with scenery, or two different kinds of rush.

Top questions

Can I choose which two activities I want to do?

Yes. You pick any two from rafting on the Mendoza River, canopy ziplining, or mountain trekking. The guide will brief you on each before you start, so you can decide based on what appeals to you that day.

What's the Mendoza River rafting like?

The Mendoza River has rapids you navigate with a paddle and a guide in the boat with you. A safety talk and full equipment—helmet, life jacket, paddle—come first, so you know what to expect before you push off.

Do I need to be fit to do this?

Moderate physical fitness is needed. Rafting and canopy both demand strength and balance; trekking is a walk but on mountain terrain. Children under 12 cannot participate, and it's not recommended for people with spinal injuries or cardiovascular concerns.

What's included in the price?

The price covers both activities, all equipment, a professional bilingual guide in Spanish and English, and round-trip hotel pickup from central Mendoza. Lunch is on your own, though you'll have time to eat at the base.

How long is the whole day?

The full experience runs 8 hours from pickup to return, including the safety briefing, both activities, lunch break and travel time to and from Potrerillos.

What should I bring?

For rafting, bring extra clothing, a towel and personal hygiene items. For canopy and trekking, wear comfortable clothes, sturdy shoes and sunscreen. The guide will remind you of what works best for each activity.
