Rafting in Salta

Rafting is a team sport, where all members of the raft's crew row and orient their weight in a coordinated manner to navigate the river's rapids while keeping afloat.
The standard number of people aboard a raft is of six to eight crewmembers, according to the size of the boat.
The guide, who must know to the detail each part of the river, is who directs the movements of the raft.
For those starting on this sport, we recommend they sit in the middle of the inflated rubber, where there is less movement. Those with some previous experience and preferring to row can sit in the forefront, while those truly experienced usually go in the back.
The level of difficulty in rafting is measured according to the rivers, which vary from 1 to 6 grades, being the number 1 the easiest and the 6 for experts only, for they are absolutely dangerous and border the limits of navigation criteria.
Operators offering these kinds of excursions provide passengers with all the necessary equipment to get the most of this exciting adventure. An oar, a helmet, a lifejacket, a dry jacket, and sometimes even a neoprene wetsuit isolating from the cold, are part of the gear.
In order to realize a safe rafting trip, it is fundamental and indispensable that all crewmembers know how to swim.
