Personalized Whitewater Kayak Trips

Now accepting bookings for the 2025-2026 season and beyond.

Welcome to Chile Kayak Adventures! Our story begins in the region of La Araucanía, Chile where we first crossed paths paddling a waterfall. Josefa Sepúlveda Fernández was once Chile’s national champion in slalom kayaking and is now one of South America’s top female paddlers. She is an athlete at Level Six and Pyranha Kayaks. Axel Hovorka is a life-long paddler from the PNW United States with descents around the globe including 100-foot waterfalls, first descents, and big water rivers. We came together with our distinct backgrounds to share our passion for Chile and the sport with the rest of the community.
