Adventure Spa Base Camp

Bio Bio Expeditions offers you the ultimate in luxury "5-star" riverside camping at our Adventure Spa basecamp on the Futaleufu River in Patagonian Chile! This is true "glamping"! (Glamorous Camping!) The Adventure Spa Base Camp is custom designed to include the absolute best activities, facilities and creature comforts for those on one of our Chile tours. The unique site also provides the best river access for maximizing time on the water - whether whitewater rafting, private guided fly fishing from one of our catarafts, or whitewater kayaking clinics. The riverfront location on the Futaleufu allows guides to launch rafts and kayaks from a nice, calm eddy, just one mile above the amazing Bridge to Bridge section of whitewater - known as the "Heart of the Futaleufu". Less driving time, more river time! The crew of guides have been doing this for years and are eager to make sure you have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in adventure on our Chile tours!
