I spent a week at Pucón Kayak Retreat on a multisport trip followed by a week beginner Whitewater kayaking. The trip was my first to Chile and South America. Transfers were smooth. Lodging in a yurt alongside the river was beautiful in setting, comfortable, and convenient. Meals were together as a group with great food abd great camaraderie. Attention was paid to detail with all activities and the time hiking, paddling, and with other activities were perfect for ability, scenery was amazing, and we were busy, but still had time to relax. It was an amazing trip and I am looking forward to more adventures in Chile and throughout South America as well as more future paddling..

Better than we had even anticipated! The staff were super friendly and made us feel right at home like family. The guides were very skilled and knowledgeable. The food was outstanding. The property is beautiful with even more improvements and enhancements on the roadmap. Highly recommend and hope to go back soon myself!

It's literally one of my favorite places in the world, period. The retreat itself is amazing, everything from lodging to food as well as logistics for your trip is handled for you and stress free. The team at Pucon Kayak Retreat is unrivaled at seamlessly blending your adventures with all the comforts of home in a beautiful location, right on one of the world class rivers in the area. For kayakers, its a paradise. Id live here if I could. I cannot recommend anywhere more so than I do PKR. Absolutely perfect for a paddler like me and for anyone adventuring around the area.

I had the trip of a lifetime, felt completely comfortable and confident with the best kayaking instructor, Blue. Food was awesome, lodging was a dream. Can't think of anything that could improve this experience other than more time.
