Hello folks, Laura here. As promised, a few details about this excellent day out over a week ago. We went with Extremo Sur and highly recommend them. It was so much fun. We went up a valley to a farm where we got changed into wetsuits and the rest of the gear. Then it was down to the Río Manso Inferior (river) for a safety talk and then we were off. It was utterly superb and I didn't want it to end. The river is stunning - clear water, high cliffs, wonderful forest and views of mountain ridges. And the excellent rapids. I have always been hopeless at water sports and could just about swim across a river but we had an excellent guide and I loved it. We went in for an (intentional) swim twice. The swimming position is on your back with your backside lowered and the water carries you along. All good things come to an end and when we came out of the river we headed up to the border with Chile and then past a customs office and back to the farm for an asado which was excellent. We had some good chat with an Australian girl and two Argentinians who wanted to know lots about Ireland and the UK and what we thought of Argentina.
