The rainy season is here! the heavy May showers can prove it! That also means that the River Rafting Season started! As the rivers get more water, the fun begins!
There are basically 5 classifications for river Rafting as follows:
Class I: Moving water with small waves (ideal for beginners)
Class II: Rapids with waves up to three feet high. Clean, unobstructed channels with some maneuvering required. Guide must be able to maintain course.
Class III: Irregular waves, scouting necessary, complex maneuvering, obstacles concealed. Difficult to control and maneuver.
Class IV: Long, difficult rapids with tight passages. Boat tipping and swamping are real possibilities. If a customer falls in the water a possibility of injury is ever present.
Class V: Quick rescue proceedings must be in place. Precise and professional knowledge of the river course is a must.
**Please take into account that during heavy rainy season in Chiriqui, a class III becomes class IV an so forth.
Panama is a country world renounced for its rivers of rare and remote beauty. The rivers vary in difficulty, providing white water adventures for every rafter, beginner to most advanced. specially in Chiriquí there are several companies that provide a high class professional River Rafting experiences.
