'About as narrow, committing, and epic as it ever gets' | El Rio Claro

Outside of Molina, Chile, lies one of the most incredible places to experience. The rio Claro is a river that you can only truly appreciate its glory, and many sections are only possible to access, by kayaking it. It is about as narrow, and committing as kayaking gets. It is one of my favorite runs in the world, and by far one of the most beautiful. The chrystal clear water, the towering overhanging walls of the gorge, and the endless drops. It is a place like one other, and I am always counting down the days till I can drop back in.

The idiot me in me sees this and my smooth brain says “I can do that” knowing damn good and well I’ve never been in a kayak.

I used to kayak with my dad when he was alive. I haven't been since he passed. I was supposed to take his ashes to Antietam and put them in the water when I go kayaking but just haven't found the strength or anyone to go with. I miss kayaking with my dad. It was what he loved. So much that he worked for river and trails doing kayaking trips. This video made me think of my dad.

I can literally smell the crispness of the water.

Can’t believe that’s a natural setting. Looks too nice, almost as if it was built for an adventure theme park. There’s so much natural beauty and wonder in this world.

Amazing. That place doesn't even look real.

The fact that there isn't even the slightest hint of plant life here is a testament to how brutal these waters are.

I love how there’s no music. Just 7 minutes and 4 seconds of straight up badassery

[waminette]

why does the water look so warm and cold at the same time

Guys, I’m 63 years old with a body that’s no longer able to take that kind of beating...so THANK YOU for making feel young again by just watching you guys do what I wish I could do!

I'm so glad these action cameras exist. Now I can get the same view an expert sees, without the risk of course! Thanks for sharing!

I like how smooth all the rocks look due to being pummeled with water for hundreds of years

[samspoonsskylanders]

I feel like they communicate in “woo” and “woohoo”

[StudSupreme]

The calm sections actually look more appealing, because you can see how clear the water is. It's quite beautiful.

i love the owl thats following the group the entire video

[DiamonDust]

Am I the only one that's really jealous of how much fun they're having? Makes me feel like I'm wasting my life lol

[fooocs]

Just imagine you're a fish swimming in this river, and one day you hear humans screaming "WOOOHOOOW WHOO WOOO WHOOOOHOW WOOHOOOO HEJOUWWWW WOOOHOW"

[madamebutterfly]

This looks like a video game setting! Unreal! A bucket list place for sure.

I so want to do this, but I know I almost certainly will die.
