Rafting Cahabon River
 

In Guatemala rafting is practiced in one of the most turbulent rivers of Central America, The Cahabon River. Besides its natural beauty, given by the landscape and water colour, has rapids leveled III - IV, with c of calm water sections and many attractions such as caves, waterfalls, thermal waters, etc.

It is the perfect combination between adrenaline and rest, emotion and distraction, nature and adventure. You can navigate the whole year, and you can navigate from one to three consecutive days so camping is another adventure element besides Rafting,

But, do you need to be an expert participate in a trip like these? No. The experts have to be the guides that instruct the group. Yes, they have to be specially trained to control the raft, distinguish the currents and the hydraulic formations, rescue procedures, first aids and everything concerning safety.

Any person in a good physical state, enthusiastic for adventure and nature you can enjoy a rafting trip without having to worryfor anything but to follow you guides instructions.

Is it very tiring? Is it necessary to row a lot? No. One rows only the necessary time to keep the raft in control. Generally, you will have to strongly row in the rapids, and not in the whole itinerary. The current drags the raft, and the only thing left is to keep it under control. There you will also have the opportunity to make play some sport such as water fights or swim a little in the river, jump from a hanging bridge or explore a cave.

Since 1987 rafting has been commercially and professionally practiced in Guatemala.
