  • Tres Saltos w/ Santi Sandoval

    Tres Saltos w/ Santi Sandoval
    Jul 19 2025

    Raised in Chile's capital city, Santiago "Santi" Sandoval realized that Pucon, perhaps Chile's finest outdoor mecca, was the place to be if he wanted to take advantage of the highest concentration of high quality whitewater in his corner of the planet. Tres Saltos, one of the area's cleanest and most highly revered big drops, has become one of his favorite local stouts, and he sits down with me to explain why, discuss the line, and otherwise bestow his knowledge of the rapid and its history upon us.
