Rafting takes
place in the city of Taboquinhas, along the beautiful Contas River. This river
is considered one of the best rivers in Brazil for rafting, with class 3 and 4
rapids.
The day begins
with pickup at your accommodation, around 9:30 a.m. Then, the vehicle continues
its route along the highway from Itacaré to Taboquinhas for 29 km.
Upon arrival at
the farm in Taboquinhas, the rafting guide will welcome all participants and
take them to the Contas River. On the riverbank, one of the rafting guides will
offer a short theory lesson, explaining the details about rafting and providing
safety tips.
After this
lesson, it is time to paddle out and enjoy an hour and a half of rafting down
the beautiful Contas River. There are 5 exciting rapids of class 3 and 4,
called: Carrossel, Fumo, Funil, Corredor Pôlones and Salto da Pancada. The
route has a total length of 3 km.
Once the rafting
is finished, the day continues with the participants being taken to enjoy
another extreme sport: zip lining. The zip line crosses the blue waters of the
Contas River and is 170 meters long. Ziplining is offered as a courtesy to
customers, although it may not be available on the day of the tour due to river
levels.
The return to
Itacaré takes place around 3:00 p.m.
