A River Runs Through It


Yoga at BIO BIO EXPEDITION’s 10-day Patagonia retreat is all about going with the flow. Hovering 50 feet above Chile’s Futaleufu River, the open-air yoga platform at this adventure base camp offers spectacular views of turquoise rapids backed by glaciated peaks. Twice-daily hatha flow classes prep you for the next day’s rafting of fly-fishing trip, while savasanas allow time for listening to the river rush by and feeling the subequatorial sun on your face.

From Zambezi to the Futaleufu with Love!

Greetings from the amazing south of Chile! The Futaleufu is big and wild and the BBX camp looks better than ever. The summer light pours into the windows of the pagoda where you can sit with a book and watch the turquoise river flow by. The new bathrooms with hot showers are five-star! Each platform now has a huge African-style safari tent complete with beds, down comforters, and Peruvian rugs. Speaking of Africa – we are delighted to announce that we sponsored one of our best native-Zambezi guides with a trip to Chile. Lovemore Kalinda, who until a couple days ago had never been on an airplane, flew from South Africa to Bariloche, Argentina and had his first kayak descent of the Futaleufu today. He is an excellent kayaker and river guide, but this is the first river he has run besides the mighty Zambezi. We are very happy to be able to provide this opportunity to Lovemore and he will spend the next two months here on the Futa kayaking, rafting, and working. Meanwhile, Sabine and Quinn (Laurence and Marc’s offspring) are enjoying “playdates” Patagonia style. We celebrated Quinn’s 1rst birthday on January 16th with lots of local kids, a BBQ of hot dogs and hamburgers, and live music by Ken Kruger. It was a wonderful celebration and we are truly enjoying watching the kiddies play and explore in this beautiful place.

If you haven’t experienced the magic of BBX on the Futaleufu yet, there is still room on the Feb. 11th, Feb. 18th, and March 4th trips. Call Diana in the home office at (800) 246-7238 and we’ll see you down here!!!

Love, Damara, Marc, Laurence
