Experiences Private Trekking Valle de Uco
White Water & Wine: The Andes from the River
The morning on the Tunuyán River, paddling class III rapids in your own private raft with expert guides; midday at the table of a first-class Uco Valley winery, over a paired multi-course lunch. Adrenaline, the Vempra way: private, logistics-free, ending with a glass raised high.
The morning belongs to the river: the Tunuyán running down from the snowmelt with class III/III+ rapids, a raft exclusively for your group, and guides who read water the way a sommelier reads a list. No mass operations, no stopwatches: adventure, in private.
Midday belongs to the table. A short drive through the vineyards and a paired multi-course lunch at a first-class Uco Valley winery, poured with the valley’s high-altitude wines. From wetsuit to wine glass — adrenaline, the Vempra way, without touching a single detail of logistics.
The day
How the day unfolds
-
The road to the Uco Valley
We pick you up at your hotel and climb toward the Uco Valley with a private vehicle and guide, the Andes growing in the windshield.
-
The river
At base camp your gear is waiting: wetsuit, helmet, life jacket and an unhurried safety briefing. Then the Tunuyán River — class III/III+ rapids fed by Andean snowmelt, in a raft exclusively for your group, with expert guides and the Cordón del Plata as a backdrop.
-
The recovery
A relaxed change of clothes at the base and a short drive through the vineyards — from white water to vine rows.
-
The table
A paired multi-course lunch at a first-class Uco Valley winery: the exact reward after the river, with the valley's high-altitude wines and the mountains still on your shoulders.
-
The return
Private transfer back to your hotel by mid-afternoon — body tired, glass well earned.
