| Join
us for a week of kayaking on the World famous Rio Santa Maria and
the surrounding rivers -- La Huasteca Potosina.
Our Santa Maria adventures combines kayaking, relaxation and the rustic
culture of Mexico. Our trips are designed to get the most out of your
vacation time. Intermediate and advanced paddlers who want to enjoy
themselves on the river will love Mexico. In a week of paddling we
visit a half dozen of the most amazing rivers on earth. We paddle
mostly class III and IV with a focus on providing you with a whitewater
vacation.

| The
rivers of La Huasteca are as unique and beautiful as any place on
earth. The water is warm and a striking turquoise-blue. Besides the
conventional rock-garden rapids of the Santa Maria and Puente de Dios,
we paddle a handful of travertine rivers. Travertine waterfalls come
in every shape and size. From straight plunges to twisting ramps,
travertine kayaking is addictive. The falls are usually straight forward,
with thin curtains, lacking the usual thundering reversals.
The
surrounding countryside is tropical and green. Parrots fly through
the trees. Iguanas and turtles bask in the sun on the river banks.
The rivers are romote and uncrowded. The villages we pass through
are a rustic view of the past. Off the river we spend our evenings
at our base camp or in restaurants serving delicious meals typical
to the region.
Most
of all, our trips are fun and hassle free. We take care of all the
logistics so you can concentrate on the river.
