French team creeking in Chile

 

Video edit: François Hemidy

 Thomas Sicre, François Hemidy and me, began our trip in Chile at the beginning of november.

After searching a car one week in Santiago, we finaly arrived to Pucon. The time to paddle arrived!!

We ran awesome creeks with internationals crews!

We have paddled around Pucon, then in the north for the Rio Claro, Rio Laja, and Rio Ñuble, and then we came back around Pucon. We plan now to go in the direction of the south: between here and Puerto Montt, a lot of rivers are waiting for us.

We'll be around the end of December at Futaleufeu, and then more in the south...

Here are some pictures!
