Description
Rafting in Brotas: adventure for everyone, fun forever!
If you are looking for an experience full of excitement, nature and lots of laughs, rafting in Brotas is without a doubt the perfect plan!
On board inflatable boats, you — alone, with your family or with friends — will take on the rapids of the Jacaré Pepira River, one of the few clean rivers in São Paulo state.
Trails on the water and just the right amount of thrill
The route has about 8 km, 32 rapids and 14 drops, all through preserved forest.
During the tour, while you paddle, you may also spot monkeys, coatis and wild birds, making the experience even more special.
It all starts at the Brotas Raftingbase, right in the town center. From there, we take our own transport to the river, so don't worry: from the moment you arrive at the agency, we take care of you!
As soon as you arrive for the activity, you get the safety briefing and, in a few minutes, you will be in the boat — ready to paddle, have fun and live unforgettable moments. There is nothing better to disconnect from your routine!
Games, safety and lots of adrenaline
Along the way, depending on the river level, you can also enjoy extra fun like the natural water slide or the famous “surfing” with the boat.
And the best part: you don't need to know how to swim!
That's because all participants wear a life jacket and helmet and are accompanied by experienced guides, plus a safety kayaker, who keeps everyone safe and takes amazing photos.
To top it all off…
At the end, we offer juice, water and, of course, the traditional cachaça with honey to toast this complete adventure!
We also take professional photos along the route — so you can have fun without worrying about your phone.
Now all that's missing is you. Let's paddle?
