    One hour away from our office we find a spot which offers us 5 levels for river rafting, beginner, amateur, pro, mostly of our tours reach 3+ level which even children can manage it and enjoy it. Our program begins at 09:00 from the office where we meet, fill out the registration form then the transportation will pick us up and we will drive around 1hr until we get the parking, here we put us on the gear and before we start we will have a short briefing for learning a couple of basic techniques, after the short practice we are ready for the action, we will spend around 2-2:30hr on the river. This is a kind of river we in some part we will be complete relaxed taking it easy but also we will have those "loco moment" on rapids..!!! The place is just amazing and unique, it is located within the beginning the amazon region and the end of the Andean region, so the weather is warm the water as well, but we will see a landscape with mountains.
