Rio Grande River WhiteWater Rafting – Texas
Raft from
Mexico
back into Texas
with a white water rafting
trip in the lower canyons (San Francisco, Regan and Panther
Canyons) of the famous Rio
Grande or travel by raft through
Big Bend National Park
in Texas.
A wilderness trip through the canyons of the Rio Grande River
includes quiet stretches of river flows punctuated with
rollicking rapids, side hikes to old homesteads and the
mysterious and beautiful Candellila plant ruins where Mexicans
melted the candillila plant to make candles many years ago.

Regan Canyon

The
Rio Grande winds through the
solitude and silence of deep chasms, rocky flats and desert
mountains that characterize the Texas/Mexico border. This
southern wilderness provides enjoyable water temperatures in the
60’s and 70’s with daytime highs of 70 to 90 degrees. The desert
erupts into a sea of colorful desert wildflowers during March
and April and is not to be missed! The pace offers both time to
perfect boating skills with instruction or relax on the rafts.
Enjoy the “Hot Springs” along the way; it’s a truly relaxing
Mexican getaway for river rafting enthusiasts.
