What the day feels like
What the day feels like
The trip flows from pick-up to playful immersion: guests are collected from San Juan-area lodging, moved into the rainforest where river action alternates between adrenaline—sliding down rock chutes and jumping from ledges—and quiet stretches for floating or watching local flora and fauna. A restaurant stop breaks the day before a second river spot offers more swimming, rope-swinging and relaxation, and the outing concludes with a return to your hotel.
