Booked classic rafting Tour. Perfect for discovering the river and the landscape. Tour does run for about 14 km, so it ends before the end of the Canyon.
Fun with many rapids, jumping and swimming in the river. It was perfectly safe for all of us and our Guide Thomas did a great job.
We all had a great fun day with that tour.
