The Travel Advisors

My first white water rafting excursion in Panama! I’ve been rafting in Costa Rica and Honduras - both loads of fun due to the rivers and the people that this type of activity draws. My Panamanian river of choice was the Mamoni, chosen because of it’s close proximity to Panama City (1 hours drive away) and because the day the tour operated fit my schedule. I definitely lucked out with my rafting buddy; a jovial gentleman from Trinidad & Tobago. He had been rafting before also and was already knowledgeable about safefy and lingo (high side, back paddle). We did have at least one MAJOR high side; he took a tumble out just prior to the raft heading nose down into a cavernous hole. Other than one or two thrilling episodes, the ride was mostly on slow moving to rippling water. The scenery was varied with forest and field. It was nice for being so close to the city, but I look forward to rafting in a more “pristine” setting.

What other rivers have you rafted in Panama , and what was your opinion?
