Rio Grande - Lower Canyons Below Big Bend National Park
Raft from Mexico back into Texas with a whitewater rafting trip in the lower canyons (San Francisco, Regan and Panther Canyons) of the famous Rio Grande or travel by raft through Big Bend National Park in Texas. A wilderness trip through the canyons of the Rio Grande River includes quiet stretches of river flows punctuated with rollicking rapids, side hikes to old homesteads and the mysterious and beautiful Candellila plant ruins where Mexicans melted the candillila plant to make candles many years ago.
LOWER CANYONS/REGAN CANYON: The Rio Grande winds through the solitude and silence of deep chasms, rocky flats and desert mountains that characterize the Texas/Mexico border. This southern wilderness provides enjoyable water temperatures in the 60s and 70s with daytime highs of 70 to 90 degrees. The desert erupts into a sea of colorful desert wildflowers during March and April and is not to be missed! The pace offers both time to perfect boating skills with instruction or relax on the rafts. Enjoy the "Hot Springs" along the way; it's a truly relaxing Mexican getaway for river rafting enthusiasts.
