This tour begins with a 20 minute drive in a comfortable air-conditioned van to the lower Peñas Blancas River where your guide will launch an inflatable raft on a calm portion of the river. You will enjoy a peaceful 2-hour float on the tranquil currents with no motor surrounded only by nature’s beauty.
