Equipo La Confluencia

About us

We are
La Confluencia

A nomadic agency that moves to where landscape, adventure, and conservation meet.

“We believe in tourism as a mechanism for conservation.”

We design meaningful nature connection experiences, integrating environmental education, adventure, and ecological sensitivity into every tour.

We specialize in outdoor experiences by water and land, using Stand Up Paddle, Packraft, and Trekking as means to explore and protect the territory.

We operate in rivers, lakes, and trails in La Araucanía, Los Ríos, and Los Lagos, always with a focus on the conservation of ecosystems and communities.
