Behind the name.
People often ask about the business name, why Region X???
Region X started in Patagonia after years running high end river expeditions for other companies in the Tenth region of Chile. We started bringing our own customers down to our base camp on the confluence of the Futaleufu river and the Rio Azul, on the Chilean side of the Patagonian Andes.
The provinces in Chile are numbered 1 -12 in Roman Numerals from North to South. Our operation guided experienced kayakers on the best and most challenging rivers in the tenth region of Chile, “Region X” and the name stuck and grew.
During the 5th Patagonian summer season Kate and Josh received welcome news from an Argentine border doctor of an addition to the family. As a result they headed back to Batemans Bay, a place familiar to Josh’s to grow a family and commit to starting the Australian “arm” of “Region X”.
So the story began in Australia during Easter of 2006, constructed a business plan, sourced equipment, guides and offered kayak experiences around our local marine environment.
Our school programs and corporate events are tailored packages, by working together we can deliver high class end results to suit your needs.
