Rafting in Tumbes River

The Tumbes River is considered one of the rivers with the highest flow along the coast of Peru. As its name indicates, it is located in the Tumbes region, and its most violent stretch is found in the Rica Playa area and the town of Figueroa within this region, where Level IV rapids can be encountered.

The best season to visit and navigate the rapids of the Tumbes River is between the months of May and October. This river flows through a protected area in Tumbes, so access to the site requires authorization from the relevant authorities.

To reach the rapids, entering through the Tumbes Reserved Zone, it is necessary to travel a route that typically takes between two and three days to complete.
