Comunidad
Raudal
Comunidad Raudal offers a unique opportunity to experience the essence of Chilean Patagonia. Set on the banks of the mighty Futaleufú River, right beside the legendary Terminator rapid, it’s a place where the thrill of adventure blends seamlessly with the beauty and peace of nature.
It features 7 private riverfront properties surrounded by towering mountains, ancient forests, turquoise water, and a thriving ecosystem where trout, condors, and foxes coexist in harmony.
A co-ownership agreement guarantees low density and a way of living in harmony with nature, fostering a residential community that is both respectful and sustainable.
Just 20 kilometers from the town of Futaleufú, it offers more than just a home: it creates a sense of belonging, where neighbors share the same love for nature and Patagonia's unique way of life.
Comunidad Raudal is located southwest of the town of Futaleufú, in a strategic part of the valley, just 20 kilometers from the town center, with direct and easy access via Route CH-231 — the main road connecting the commune to the rest of the region.
This short and scenic route is mostly paved, although there are important unpaved sections, including the fact that Route CH-231 at the height of the project is not paved. It is accessible year-round, allowing smooth travel between the project and the essential services, local commerce, and community life of Futaleufú.
Along the way, the road passes through some of the valley’s most emblematic natural features: the crossing over the Río Azul, a glacial river of crystalline waters, and the peaceful Lonconao Lake, whose mirror-like surface reflects the surrounding Andean landscape.
From within the project, the eastern horizon is defined by the breathtaking silhouette of Las Tres Monjas, a monumental rock formation and one of the most iconic natural landmarks in the Futaleufú valley. Visible from several of the lots, the presence of this granite massif adds a sense of majesty to the everyday landscape.
The project is set along a sweeping bend of the Futaleufú River, directly facing the renowned Terminador rapid. Each lot has immediate access to Route CH-231, ensuring reliable connectivity while preserving the privacy and silence that define the place.
This is a location where nature and daily life intersect — close to the town, yet deeply immersed in the Patagonian landscape. A place where connection, beauty, and balance come together.
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.
About the Termindor Rapid
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.
