Flat waters: Where the surface of the river is flat, but the level of turbulence of the
same one appears in the whirlpools and the big rocks that there are in the route.

Class I: Waters where the route is quite accessible, with small waves and water
pressure is not steep, suitable for beginners in this sport practice.

Class Il: Where the waters are a bit turbulent and there are small whirlpools with
holes no more than 25 centimeters deep.
thus the class level is increased, up to Class V, which is recommended for
experienced people, and finally Class VI categorized as extremely difficult .

Our rafting expeditions are done in sections of the river of Class II, III and IV, with
support and rescue teams across the river

and was surrounded by many houses and schools where the people did not have
enough resources or an specific place to live found a place to build their own houses
and live a dangerous life.

Since 2008, it was declared a zone of risk, because it was located in a geographical
zone that was not safe for people to live But. unfortunately the people could not just
move on, and leave behind the money that they spent on building their houses, and
they did not have other space to live with their family, so they preferred to stay there
even if it was dangerous.
In 2015, it was a landscape of sadness and pain to many people that lived there,
becouse in that year to landslide happened there. As the main consequences that it
left in the population, were the loss of many human lives and material resources to
the point that the people did not have nothing, and they were hopeless.

Today, it is an inhabited place that only has the rests of the lives of the people, their
houses. and the signs of tragedy all over the place.
