Introduction
The Mamoni river was pioneered for rafting/kayaking by
Aventuras Panama in January 1998. The river is classified as
Class II-III at its upper section and Class III-IV at the lowest section. There are a couple of passes that we choose to hike due
to safety considerations, among them, a beautiful Class V fall.
The main economic activities that surrounds the area
are: gold panning, cattle farms, subsistance agriculture,
forestry, and banana plantations.
