The river has a very weak current that is taking us downstream. The route lasts around 50 minutes and is very interesting because it gives the sensation that the visitor is part of the river! There is guide accompaniment to assist in the whole process, but the ride is risk free and is recommended for all ages as the current is really quite calm. A great opportunity to observe the rich vegetation around the river in a very different and pleasant way.
