River rafting
Great place they have. Good atmosphere and lovely people and good food. Everything was perfect. The river rafting trip itself was maybe a little long, depending on how many places there were small waterfalls. It was more of a pleasant cruise than a wild river rafting.

White Water Rafting
We had a blast! Weber was amazing and he was fluent in English, which made the whole experience better because he was able to provide us additional information about Brazil and the Rio de Janiero area. I would definitely recommend this experience.
