Rafting is a team whitewater sport. Led by a guide, this consists of descending a river using an inflatable boat which generally accommodates 8 team members.
Rafting is a recreational outdoor activity, because in addition to discovering the landscapes during calm moments, you are full of emotions when it comes to passing the eddies and other rapids.
At the start of each descent, the guide positions the crew in the raft and explains the handling of the paddle as well as the maneuvers and safety measures.
