Jungle Rivers, Big Water, and a Whole Lot of Stoke

This isn’t just a paddling trip—it’s a full-blown river expedition through the waterfalls, canyons, and jungles of Veracruz, Mexico. With a mix of mellow Class III runs, big-volume water, optional waterfall drops, and riverside camping, this trip offers something for both seasoned kayakers and those looking to expand their experience in warm water and wild terrain.

We’ll base out of Adventurec, one of Mexico’s best-known paddling hubs, and explore a variety of legendary rivers in the region—including the Filo-Bobos, Barranca Grande, Actopan, and possibly the Alseseca, depending on levels and energy.

Sample Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival
Fly into Mexico City, where we’ll shuttle to either Puebla or Hacienda Hidalgo for the night.

Day 2: Travel to Veracruz + First Paddle
We drive to Veracruz and settle into Adventurec, our base for the week. After getting outfitted with kayaks, we paddle a mellow afternoon lap on the Filo-Bobos, including a magical upstream paddle to the stunning Encanto Waterfall.

Day 3: Full Filo-Bobos Run
We take on a 12-mile section of the Filo-Bobos, from Zapotitlán to Puente Filo. Expect continuous Class III, beautiful jungle scenery, and some fun surf waves along the way.

Day 4: Options Day
Choose between a rest and explore day on the nearby Gulf Coast beaches or a high-adrenaline waterfalls section on the Alseseca River (conditions dependent). We may spend the night in the scenic city of Coatepec.

Days 5 & 6: Barranca Grande Expedition
We spend two days paddling and camping on the remote Barranca Grande, one of Veracruz’s most stunning whitewater canyons. Expect clean lines, jungle walls, and a real backcountry feel.

Day 7: Rio Actopan & Waterfall Finale
Our final paddle takes us down the turquoise blue waters of the Class III Rio Actopan, with a chance to run a 15-foot waterfall for those who are ready. Pure joy.
