RAFTING

Near the town of Palenque you?ll find one of Mexico?s most important rivers, where you can experience the thrill of whitewater rafting in a boat or kayak. The best time of year to hit the rapids is from July to October, when the conditions are more favorable.

Rio Usumacinta. Considered one of the fastest rivers in Mexico and the longest in Central America, this river runs through a large part of the northeastern region of Chiapas. The river flows past the town of Palenque and then runs along the Mexico-Guatemala border. The rapids, drops and small waterfalls that you?ll come across on this river make it a truly exciting adventure.
