Agua Azul is a small adventure travel company specializing in whitewater kayak trips in Mexico. We have over 20 years experience running the rivers and waterfalls in the Huasteca Potosina and the sierra of Oaxaca.. Our experience lets us maximize your paddling time. The natural beauty of the rivers, mountains and canyons is the highlight of our trips. But we put the best of Mexico into our hospitality. In the evenings we kick back on our private ranch or a quaint riverside hotel.
We run the rivers as day trips, returning to our base camp each night. No setting up tents. No worrying about life in a strange country. We take care of the details so you can focus on kayaking. We limit our group size to protect the rustic culture of the region and the riverside environment.
Off the water, enjoy a cool cerveza or some fresh guacamole. Walk down to the river bank and relax Little comforts, like hot showers and fresh orange juice distinguise us from other companies. Our trips are a cultural experience never to be forgotten. The people are friendly and the hospitality unbelievable. We’re far from the beaten path and all the trappings of tourism.
On the water, our trips are led by professional guides and instructors. They speak Spanish and English and are familiar with the area and local custom. They are dedicated to sports and know how to share their knowledge and experiences with others. If you want to know the "line" through a rapid or want some pointers on paddling technique, as professionals are willing to offer help or advice.
Our days are planned to keep you paddling, while allowing time for scouting, taking photos and enjoying the scenery. We stress safety and fun. The trips are designed to challenge every level of paddler, without being intimidating. We know the rapids, the lines and the logistics. Our guides and instructors can help you get down the river, work on technique, or order a taco.
