The first day we will run 13kms, 8 miles of continuous class III white water for a total of 14 rapids. Then we will arrive at Pacuare Tent Camp shortly past noon, on time for lunch. Afternoon activities include various optional hikes, fishing in the river, or relaxing in a hammock.
The second day begins and our river descent continues.
All of the class IV rapids are on this day, so now it is time to truly test the skills you learned on the previous day. The second day is significantly longer on the river, with 23kms, 14 miles, to travel and about 30 rapids. Two stops are made, one for a nice exploratory hike and another one to have lunch on the river.
