How About Some Rafting in the Mendoza River?

Mendoza city, with its 4 Stars Hotels and parks, offers quite a show for holiday in the metropolis. Even So, adventure tourism has found an ideal scenario in the areas, close to the capital.

Whitewater rafting involves the descent in rafts, usually down mountain rivers, through rapids and pools. This practice can be performed by any person older than 4 years, with or without previous experience. Rafting is mostly related with group practice.

The descents performed down the Mendoza River start in Potrerillos town, 60 kilometers away from the capital of the province. As one of the most important rivers in South America, the Mendoza River guarantees lots of fun and excitement thanks to its turbulent waters, challenging rapids and the speed of its flow. There are several options ranging from easy, moderate to difficult. In fact, experts and families can both enjoy the dynamics of this watercourse.

The Mendoza River is a Class III strong stream lacking of pools along its path. You can navigate throughout it the entire year, taking its flow downstream from April to September, with its major magnificence from November to March.

The summer flow oscillates between 80 and 200 cubic meters per second, and the winter's is 20. The water, from fall to spring is clear, and from spring to summer is brown due to the drag of the sediments in its path. Nevertheless, it is pure with no chemical and biological pollution, with a winter temperature from -5º to 18º, and 20º to 35º in summertime.

The security procedures in the practice of rafting are very important to keep everyone safe. That is why highly skilled professional guides accompany people on the descents and a kayak escorts the rafts. Likewise, the rafts are built with the latest technology, with the most resistant materials. The oars are made of PVC and aluminum, which provides reliability on the rowing of each passenger.

Practising rafting is possible throughout any season, but the river has its major flow during the summer, increasing its level of difficulty. Once summertime is over, the flow shrinks substantially, turning the river almost fit for all types of passengers, mainly amateurs.

Trying rafring in Mendoza River is a different experience, both tough and exciting. That is the reason why the clients of the Mendoza's 4 Stars Hotel return so merrily tired, with only a bed in mind.
