This activity has become very popular among travellers and locals alike. During the rainy season (May – November), the rivers can have a higher flow of water, hence a much more exciting adrenaline experience.
The river, Chiriqui Viejo, is located next to the border with Costa Rica. Levels can be from 2.5 – 3 during the dry season, up to 4.5 during the rainy season, especially in October – November.
