Mariman Extreme Kayak Race in Pucon, Chile

The Mariman Extreme Kayak Race was originally developed by Santiago to highlight not only the stunning location but also to show there was more to the Trancura River than just the rafting companies pumping down all the tourists that visit Pucon, which is one of the main adventure capitols of the Southern Hemisphere, not just in South America.

We have tried to divide up the seasons to give you some idea of climate, levels and popularity and also include topics and headers for those that wanting to kayak down those classic creeks in Pucon or are looking for more river running with pristine rivers and amazing colours. We have written this with kayakers that are Class 3, Class 4 and Class 5.
