When is the season
for these activities?
September to May
Is it safe (rafting)?
Yes it is safe, in the Classic Manso trip, may go children older than
6 years. We never had any kind of accident up to the moment. In the Manso
to the frontier trip there greater chances to fall into the water o to
flip around the raft, but it is nothing more than a splash because there
are support kayaks that will rescue immediately. We haven´t had
any kind of accident in this trip and the minimum age is 14 years.
What should I bring
along?
For the Classic Manso trip: a complete cloth change, towel, swimsuit and
shoes that can get wet (you are not allowed to go barefooted). Passport
For the Manso to the frontier trip you need a towel, swimsuit, footwear
that may get wet and a complete cloth change. Passport
How much time do
we raft?
The Classic Manso trip: we raft 16 km and according to the stream
of the river this might take us between an hour and a half to two hours.
This is just rafting time, but we stop for lunch and at the ponds for
swimming so the whole trip takes much longer.
The Manso to the frontier trip: it is about 12 km long and the rafting
time is more o less the same a the Classic Manso trip. We raft without
stopovers, unless the river conditions requires us to stop.
Do I need previous
experience?
We recommend that you have some previous experience if you go to the Manso
to the frontier trip (class III rapids) mostly to have an idea what is
rafting about, but it is not mandatory. If you haven't any doubt then
just go ahead!
The Classic Manso is good for a previous experience and great for beginners
to get used to this sport and to feel comfortable while enjoying it.
Is it mandatory
to know swimming?
In the Classic Manso not, because it is just a class II stream but for
the Manso to the frontiers is more than recommended, because you have
much more chances of a splash.
May children come
along?
Yes, in the Classic Manso trip may come children from six years onward,
this trip is specially designed for family with kids. Children under 12
years have to go with at least one of his parents.
In Manso to the frontier trip children have to be at least 14 years old.
Do we have to bring
along our food?
No, all the trips include lunch and an afternoon snack.
Can I take my own
photo camera?
Yes, just bring it. Along the road there are great sightseeing spots to
take pictures and on the raft we put them into a dry bag, but also if
you do not want to risk it you can leave it in the car. Anyway we have
a photo service with the trip.
Do we get wet?
Yes, you get soaking wet.
Do you suspend the rafting outing if it is rainy?
The rafting outings do not get suspended in case of bad weather or rain. During the rafting you will be using neoprene suits and/or jackets which keeps you warm even if you get wet by the river water (while paddling) or rain. For lunch and snack service we have roofed facilities.
