We continue bringing our readers the best places in the world for rafting according to National Geographic magazine. In the previous post, we talked about the Zambezi, Noce, Coruh, Sun Kosi, and North Johnstone rivers. In this new post, we’ll introduce you to the next five best rivers for enjoying this thrilling sport:
FUTALEUFÚ RIVER
Located near the equator, this river originates in Argentina, though most of it flows through Chile. Its flow increases with glacier melt, making the river extraordinarily full and turbulent. It’s set in a natural park where rafting is often combined with other activities such as rock climbing and horseback riding.
UPANO RIVER
Located in Ecuador, this river is one of the calmest among those on this list. It’s popular among fishermen due to its abundance of fish, and it also forms many beaches visible during rafting trips. However, it does feature Class IV rapids in some sections, ensuring an exciting adventure just like the rest.
WHITE SALMON RIVER
This river flows through Idaho, USA, and is one of the longest in the country—guaranteeing a long, adrenaline-filled rafting experience. Like others, it swells with snowmelt, making June and July the best months to go.
MAGPIE RIVER
Located in Quebec, Canada, this river is designed to be tackled over approximately 8 days, making it one of the longest rafting experiences available. It is also among the most difficult, requiring prior experience in high-level rivers due to its complexity and duration.
TATSHENSHINI RIVER
This river runs between Alaska and Canada, giving you a good idea of the cold climate surrounding it, with its icy white water. Although it’s not the most difficult, the beautiful landscape and wild environment—where you may spot grizzly bears and moose—make it one of the most appealing rivers for rafting.
