We want to do some white water end of January. It looks like this is the best river. Is it worth the extra money to do the 2 day trip vs the 1 day trip? We are thinking of Rios Tropicales due to the good reports. Thanks! | ||
Its not any longer a ride, you just take out 1/2 way and sleep riverside...then continue, as far I know. I think 1 day is enough... | 1 | |
Thanks! Safety is a big concern. My 24 year old daughter has grown up rafting in US mostly Jackson, Wyoming area & spent more time in the river than the boat (always bounced out as she didn't weigh enough) Her boyfriend & my husband have not as much experience but are both in great shape. We want the kids to have great experiences during our trip, & have appreciated your advise. | 2 | |
I agree with the Tico. The two day trip is a one day trip extended over two days. I went on Rios Tropicales and I took the one day. On the two day, you get dropped off at a riverside lodge pretty early on the first day. IMHO, there did not seem to be much to do for the first day, but then again laying on a hammock reading a book in a beautiful setting is not a bad idea either. But just remember it is not two full days of rafting and I found the one day trip extremely satisfying. | 3 | |
