This is an amazing full day tour that will take about 10 hours from start to finish. We pick you up at approx. 8am and drive to the Minas Gerais border. Our first stop is at 10am for breakfast. Once full of energy, we will travel to the Paraibuna River and begin our 3 hour attack on the river. At times the river is playful and relaxing enabling one to snap some memorable photos, at others, it will have you holding your breath and clinging to the raft. A disposable camera, preferably waterproof, is a good option. The rafting is lead by professional, qualified guides, and all necessary safety equipment, including life vests and helmets are provided. Once the rafting is completed you will have a chance to shower while lunch is being prepared. After lunch we will make the return journey back to Rio.

The section that we raft is approximately 25 kms long and includes 25 rapids between the grades of 3-4. Depending on size of your party, groups may be combined with others.
