This is one of the most exciting and Xtreme sports around!

The original rafters were forest workers who used to tie trees together into a platform, launch it onto the river and jump on from the bank. It's still just as exciting, but all you need is a sense of adventure and teamwork: we provide the boat, helmets and life jackets.

Try this sport in Los Llanos, the great wildlife-filled flood plains of the Venezuelan south-west, or the magnificent Gran Sabana, home of ancient landscapes and dramatic waterfalls.
