World-class Whitewater Rafting in Panama’s Chiriqui Province
With more than 35 world-class whitewater runs in Panama’s Chiriqui province alone, there is no paddling destination more extraordinary than Panama! The combination of the region’s topography (see relief map),abundant watersheds and incredible biological diversity make Panama an extraordinary whitewater rafting destination. We do most of our paddling in the watersheds of the Chiriqui province, where over 150 inches of rain fall annually.
With so many different whitewater rafting runs to choose from, you may need some help choosing the trip that is right for you. If you or someone in your group is new to the sport of whitewater rafting and prefer an easier trip with a relaxed pace, we can take you down some amazingly beautiful stretches of Class II/III whitewater on the Rio Majagua. If you have a bit of whitewater rafting experience and are looking for a little more action, we’d love to get your group out on the Rio Gariche, a classic Class III run where we enjoy monkey sightings almost as much as we enjoy the whitewater! If you are looking for a heart-pounding glimpse of what makes Panama’s whitewater famous among whitewater enthusiasts around the globe, then the Palon section of the Rio Chiriqui Viejo is a must-do for you!
John Miller, founder of Boquete Outdoor Adventures, started exploring the watersheds of the Chiriqui province over 10 years ago and is eager to get you out there on Panama’s world-class whitewater! We have all the logistics nailed down and have hand-picked our guides and gear with your comfort and safety in mind.
