Chepu River Kayak

Great experience !! Kayak in the Dead Tree Valley at Chepu. Area of wetlands and dead trees, caused by a Tsunami that followed a huge earthquake in 1960 left thousand of hectares under water, lowering the ground in app 2 mts. Amazing how nature restarts over and over again!!
Kayaking in between dead trees is overwhelming!, feeling transported to ancient times. Area with great endemic fauna and flora, plus birds that remain next to you while kayaking. Superb for birdwatchers!
IMPORTANT : contact Fernando & Amory at Mirador de Chepu, they have kayak rental and organize everything you may need: transportation, food, lodging, anything! just ask them. Great disposition, humor and very friendly.
