Without a doubt, it is one of the greatest attractions that exists in Mendoza in terms of landscapes and fun.
I took the excursion with Cepas and the truth is that it was incredible. Mario the DJ Guide makes the experience worth double.
If you have never done Rafting, don't be afraid, it is a super safe and very fun attraction.

Such a beautiful place. One of the few canyons that you can actually cross it end to end. The rock formations are incredible. Sadly you can not really do trekking here as the tours are basically done by car as the canyon crossing is quite long. Anyway it will be great to have trekking opportunities in a such an amazing place.

Although the road is gravel, it can be done easily in a car.
If you are in San Rafael I recommend leaving early to tour the canyon. Go first to Nihuil and from there tour the canyon to Valle Grande where you can go rafting, which is super fun and family-friendly! There is no danger!

It is something super cute and exciting for all types of travelers. Those who like activities such as rafting, horseback riding, trekking. Those who like zip lines, camping.
Walking through it takes all day and depending on what you do it can be longer or shorter.

We started the tour through Nihuil, along the way we had a part with beautiful snow. We toured the Nihuil, the dam and began the gravel route with all the stops, the hydroelectric dams, the shapes on the mountain, everything divine until we found a part of mud in which we had an ugly time, stuck 2 or 3 times and at the same time edge of the cliff, luckily we were able to get out. When we arrived at the Atuel Dam we found out that after we passed they had closed the road in the Nihuil. Advice: do it because it is spectacular but find out the state of the road.

Without a doubt the best thing to do in San Rafael. The ideal thing for me is to go to Nihuil and take the gravel route from there until you return to San Rafael. Impressive views and landscapes, the path is very good, you just have to avoid doing it if it rained recently.

Beautiful excursion, unique views!! Unmissable boat ride, it is quiet...for the fearful...and you can access places where the catamaran does not go. $4000 per person any of the 2 options. There are other activities on site such as zip lining, climbing, rafting, horseback riding, all for approximately the same price. We went on an excursion from Mendoza capital.

Worth visiting, one of nature’s wonders. Allow a full day for sightseeing the various landscapes and spots. It is a long safe drive, plan to hace fuel, to take food & drinks, not much on the way. Just amazing breathtaking landscapes. Enjoy!

Very nice place. We went from 25 de Mayo (very close to San Rafael) to El Nihuil, by a tarmac route, fast. From El Nihuil hhasa San Rafael again, through San Rafael, it is a road of ripio, in good condition, totally walkable (we did it in a Fiat Palio), although somewhat sawed and quite long. It takes 2 1/2 to 3 hours to do it. The scenery is stunning and there are places to get down and walk a bit. Then, at the end, it is crowded with tourism ventures with adventure sports. Crowded, literal. It is a beautiful destination but massive tourism.

Hola! estamos pensando ir a San Rafael, buscando siempre alojamiento a la vera del Rio, cual me recomendarían que es mejor el Rio Atuel o el Rio Diamante?
Written December 27, 2023
Hola, sería irresponsable de mi parte darte una respuesta dado que no conozco como son los alojamientos y los ríos en esta época. Suerte en este viaje y que lo disfrutes. Saludos

Son casi 60 km ,que se hacen a baja velocidad dependiendo del tipo de vehículo en que vayas. De todos modos el Paisaje te lleva a recorrerlo tranquilo.

Hola. Quisiera saber cuánto dura esta excursión. Yo me hospedaré en San Rafael.
Si es de medio día o día entero. Gracias!
Written April 10, 2023
Hola! En medio dia vez la parte baja del cañon, que es la mas bella, hasta los jardines colgantes o algo mas.
Si queres llegar hasta el embalse del Nihuil medio dia es poco, te alcanza para llegar y comer alli. Suerte y disfrute!!!

Hola muy buenas, se puede bañar en las aguas? Hay alguna especie de playa? Gracias

Buenas, es posible hacer la excursión con alguna agencia pero que no sea del día entero? Porque todas las que vi son de 11-14hs

Hola, al menos cuando quise hacerla saliendo desde San Rafael tuve el mismo inconveniente, la única solución que le encontré fue alquilar un auto. Si estás en la ciudad de Mendoza es imposible ya que tenés cerca de cuatro horas de viaje. Abrazoooo

Hola el caudal del río lo regulan las represas que vas a ver si haces el recorrido que por cierto te recomiendo, así que de no haber un hecho atípico, el río siempre tiene caudal
