EQUIPMENT
.
All of our equipment is imported from the foremost rafting outfitters of the United States. We provide top of the line Aire self-bailing rafts that are built specifically to withstand the rigors of descending rivers and repeated brushings with Mother Nature.  We also provide US Coast Guard approved type III-V lifejackets and helmets that must be worn at all times within the rafts. Thorough and complete first aid kits are provided on each trip as well as other relevant river safety gear.  Our rafts require full interaction with all passengers paddling at the guide’s order.  Be ready, paddling is a great workout and provides an incredible feeling of accomplishment and teamwork!
lunch
LUNCH. A hefty smorgasbord lunch is provided on all river trips. For those limited to certain
diets due to religious beliefs or vegetarian preferences, please let us know ahead of time so as to make sure other foods are prepared for your lunch.  Drinking water is provided on all boats. Please…No coolers allowed.
NOTE: No alcoholic beverages are allowed in our tours.

GUIDES. Our guides are top notch river junkies. All of our guides are First Aid and CPR trained and have also undergone rigorous white water training from our Operations Manager.  In addition to having worked as a stateside river guide, our Ops Manager has also worked as a US National Park Ranger at the Grand Canyon, Canyonlands, and Big Bend National Parks. Some of the courses taken at the foremost river training camps are: Wilderness First Responder and Swift Water Rescue Technician.

INSTRUTIONS. Our guides will provide you with a detailed instructions brief before ever descent down the river, especially important for first-timers. This insures that everyone feels safe and knows what they are doing during the excursion.

TRANSPORTATION to and from the river is provided from most areas around the Chiriqui province.

We are extremely proud of our guides for their professionalism and outstanding people skills and scout future guides based on river expertise and easy going personalities. Our belief is that part of guiding individuals down the river is not only making sure they arrive safely on the other end, but also ensuring those participants are made to feel at ease and comfortable on their journey down river. In addition, our guides are proud and eager to teach and point out to our participants the various birds and animals one is bound to come across on our river trips.
