“Highly recommended! Over the last week in Chile, I went out with Bochinche 6 days and each time was an amazing experience. Every day at the river put-in I got to see some other day trip companies come through. Nothing stacked up to the well oiled machine Daniel and his crew have put together, especially when it comes to guest comfort.”
