Cascada Expediciones is a Chilean in-bound tour operator with headquarters in Santiago de Chile. We started out in 1991 as a rafting company and expanded to offer trips in destinations as remote as Patagonia, the Atacama desert and Easter Island. We currently organise eco-friendly trips in Patagonia, Chile, Argentina and Bolivia. Activities include trekking, mountaineering, horseback riding, rafting, kayaking, skiing, wildlife observation and wine tours. We own and operate the internationally-acclaimed EcoCamp Patagonia, a fully sustainable hotel in Torres del Paine National Park, Chilean Patagonia. In the last twenty years over 20,000 people visiting Chile have enjoyed Cascada-operated tours at EcoCamp Patagonia and throughout Chile.
