Extreme sports such as rafting are some of the main reasons why so many tourists from all over the world come to Mendoza. Hotel accomodation is the first thing they look for, rafting tours are their second priority. Those who love outdoors activities and enjoy adventure do not hesitate in trying one of these excursions. And for those who have never tried it, the rapids can be an experience full of adrenaline and excitement they will never forget.
The province of Mendoza is famous for its fantastic vineyards and every activity related to them. But it is also very popular for its beautiful mountains and rivers, where adventure sports are the most relevant attraction. Mendoza River offers the perfect scenario to those who want to enjoy different kinds of thrills. Many tourism agencies offer extreme excursions and adventure trips, which include rafting in rapids and cool waters.
During the adventure trip itself, the guides give tourists some tips and indications about rafting and safety. Then, they are taken to the rafts, wearing the helmets and vests provided for their protection. Weather is usually very good, and comfortable temperatures are the perfect complement to start paddling in order to face the rapids. El Laberinto, Picoli, Concejal, La Piedra Mala and La Muralla China are the most popular rapids over these water courses. Everyone who has practiced rafting should have heard from them at least once.
As the rafts move forward, rock formations begin to show up, the rafting gains adrenaline and the "rafters" get a little more nervous. The appearance of some hills can be useful to calm down some agitated hearts. Due to their striking beauty and their significant size, no one can take their eyes out of them. Some of these mounts are better known than others, and have been named. The ones called Cocodrilo, El Mirador and El Calavera are frequenty identified by the expedition’s guides, so everybody on the raft can enjoy their splendor. Each fall adds more and more enthusiasm and tourists can not have enough of them.
The entire group on the raft gets infinite pleasure from this kind of extreme activity. It is certainly one of a kind experience this province has to offer. Beautiful landscapes and breathtaking sports combine perfectly to offer an outstanding alternative, which none of the guests at any Mendoza’s Hotel would ever miss.
