Hidden Gem in the Andes - The Yeso River

Professional kayakers Tino Specht, Lorenzo Andrade Astorga, Pangal Andrade headed out to Chile to shred some of the best and funniest whitewater, the Yeso River. The river is an excellent whitewater destination with some very steep sections full of gravel bars, boulders and narrow chutes that make it no easy. Although it's reached within an hour’s drive of Santiago, the capital and largest city in the country, the river is hard to get to; it runs for about 4 km at Class V and drops 25 m/km to the bridge. Yeso, that begins in the high peaks of Andes Mountains is not that known and maybe that's why we have discovered it just now. Check it out.
