Experience an action-packed day from Salta with a white-water rafting adventure through the dramatic Juramento River Canyon. Surrounded by striking geological formations, you’ll travel into the canyon and take on a thrilling stretch of river featuring Class III rapids alongside gentler Class II sections, all with professional guides and safety equipment provided.

After your time on the water, return to base to relax over a traditional Argentine asado with drinks included before heading back to Salta. It’s a great choice for travellers looking to combine scenery, adventure, and local flavours in one memorable outing.

During your ride, you'll have to navigate 10 different Class III rapids, in addition to five slightly-easier Class II rapids, all of them framed by the stunning scenery of the canyon, which looks like a giant open pit in the mountains.
