Whitewater Kayaking, Chile´s Lake District
Chile is one of the best areas in the world for whitewater. This long slender country, 4.300 kms. long and 200kms. wide, has just about every conceivable kind of climate and terrain. The Andes mountains, which contain the highest summit in America and the tallest volcano in the world, run down the middle of the country from top to bottom. Since it is such a short distance from the Andes to the Chilean coast you come across countless whitewater rivers as you travel from north to south.
