Lot 18 is located at the northern end of the project and has a surface of 5,000 m². Like its neighboring lots, it combines an upper flat area at the western access with a slope that descends toward a lower flat area, broader and more open than those in the central section. Both areas are favorable for construction, whether on the upper section or the lower one, in direct contact with the Futaleufú River. Riparian vegetation intertwines with coihue trees and native shrubs, while birds such as seven-colored tanagers and chucao tapaculos enrich the seasonal landscape. Its balanced relief between flat and slope reinforces the natural continuity of the project

The “Terminator” section of the Futaleufú River is one of its longest and most technical rapids, recognized worldwide for its intensity. Located just a few kilometers from town, it runs through a valley framed by Andean mountains and native forests, where the flow —fed by mountain lakes and seasonal snowmelt— reaches its full power. Its name dates back to the first rafting expeditions in the 1980s, when paddlers facing its magnitude would simply exclaim: “Terminated!”. Since then, the Terminator has become both a natural and sporting landmark, helping to establish Futaleufú as an international destination for whitewater adventure.
How to get to Futaleufú?
Futaleufú can be reached from both Chile and Argentina through various routes.
From abroad, the most direct option is via Santiago, Chile, followed by a domestic flight to Puerto Montt. From there, travelers can reach Chaitén either by air —with services operated by Pewén and Aerocord— or via an overnight maritime barge run by Naviera Austral. The final stretch to Futaleufú is completed by road from Chaitén.
From Argentina, access is possible through flights from Buenos Aires to either Bariloche or Esquel, with Esquel being the closest city to the border crossing that leads directly to Futaleufú.
