Home Whitewater Kayaking Oaxaca Whitewater Zimatan

Zimatan

Our classic whitewater tour of the unspoiled rivers around Huatulco. the Zimatan trip features full days of pool-drop whitewater. The coast of Oaxaca has some of the best whitewater in Mexico.

Long complex rapids, tight bedrock canyons and a wilderness setting on the river. The rivers are clean and warm. The rapids weave between giant granite boulders. Each river has a distinct character.
This is a week of paddling great rapids in the perfect tropical climate. We stay in the small resort town of la Crucecita and head out to the river every morning. It's a combination of complete wilderness on the water and a quaint beach resort in the evenings. If you want to bring a non-kayaker on a trip this is the one.

The four quality runs for our trips are within easy striking distance of La Crucecita: Hamacas, Alamania, Zimatan Canyon and Upper Zimatan. Plus the Rio Grande is just a little to the North and the Yuviaga only a little deeper in the sierra.

PRICE: $1295.00 USD
