WHITEWATER RAFTING

In the Parque Nacional Barrancas del Cobre you?ll find several rivers where you can go rafting, particularly during the rainy season from June to September, when the rivers swell and the rapids become much more challenging.

El Rio Urique. Located in the central region of the Parque Nacional Barrancas del Cobre, in the town of Urique. This river, which runs along the bottom of the Copper Canyon, is navigable year-round; it has class III and IV rapids.
