Whitewater Rafting


Rafting is one of the big 'must-do's' whilst travelling in Panama. There are around 150 rivers that interlace their way through the rainforests. Rafting excursions will cater for all ability levels. And during the intense wet season the increased water levels mean the adrenalin factor goes through the roof!
A short hop from Panama City is the Chagres National Park; the Chagres River offers class III rapids throughout the year. Further east is the Rio Mamoni River - with turbulent waves of Class III & IV, this river is a challenging one, especially for beginners.
In the south west of Panama is Chiriqui National Park. Here you can wallow around in the rivers all year long. Chiriqui River is a class III, IV and V river, so it's not for the faint-hearted at any time of year, but it affords a real challenge from May to November.
