That was really good! Andres and Feilipe took really good care of us, a few trees fell through winds, but Andres showed us around here superbly. We wanted to move a tree from land, and we broke the rope, we had fun. The river is great even for brave beginners, we had booked III-IV, it went well. Thanks to Andres and Felipe for the beautiful unforgettable day, our Jung 15 and 17 J enjoyed it.

So much fun! We had a great time on this exciting section of the river! Our guide was very skilled and friendly, and we appreciated that it was a small group and not a massive bus. Saw many water birds along the way, plus cows and farms passing by the rapids. No dull sections of this river— lots of adventure !
