Boquete Outdoor Adventures CLASS II / III Trip Details
Water levels can vary greatly during the rainy season. We have access to over 35 runs in the Chiriqui province and our itineraries vary according to water levels. This trip is mostly class II runs with the occasional class III rapid mixed in.
Day 1: Arrive in Panama City. We will meet you at the airport and transfer you to a hotel in Panama City.
Day 2: We will catch an early flight to David, the provincial capital of Chiriqui. From there, we will make a quick stop at the lodge, outfit our boats and do a warm up run on the Bajo Mendez section of theRio Chiriqui. This section is class II.
Day 3: We head to the Rio Majagua to step things up a bit. This section is close to home with class II and a few easy class III rapids.
Day 4: We head to the Rio Dolega today. This river is similar to the Majagua, but a bit longer and with a few more class III rapids thrown in.
Day 5: We make a bit of a drive to the lower Rio Gariché. This crystal clear river runs through a series of beautiful gorges. This run is a great time to spot monkeys and orchids. This section is Class II.
Day 6: Today we are off the beaten track. We head for the Rio Fonseca which drains out of the indigenous Ngobe-Bugle Comarca region. You will get a feel of indigenous world as we put in at a small indigenous town. The run is mostly class II.
Day 7: We head back to the Rio Gariché to do the middle section. This section is even more beautiful than the lower section. The rapids are a good mix of Class II and III.
Day 8: Back close to home, we do the Upper Rio Majagua. This section is mostly class III for the first half and then becomes class II. After taking out, we head back to lodge, pack our bags and catch an afternoon flight back to Panama City.
Day 9: We deliver you to the airport for your return flight.
