About
Quick facts: The river runs 1,900 kilometers across three states before emptying into the Gulf of Mexico. The canyons were formed over 10 million years by sedimentary water flow.
Highlights: Imagine rafting between rock walls up to 200 meters high while tropical birds fly overhead. The turquoise river water descends through 18 different natural rapids, each presenting a unique challenge.
