Kayaking in Mexico

Learn to fly of drops on an all-inclusive 14-day coached trip with instruction through the steep creeks of Mexico’s jungles and canyons. Paddle some of the most unique whitewater of your life while receiving coaching from your favourite coaches from Lili and EWWS.

Come to Mexico for unique paddling, to learn new techniques, and for an amazing cultural experience where all you think about is enjoying your 14-day
kayaking lifestyle adventure.

The rivers we guide are ideal for learning to take off on waterfall, whether you are learning to boof or perfecting your stroke. Rapids consist of steep creeking features and drop into open pools where your guides and friends will watch you boof and fly your way down the river.

Whitewater Kayaking Holidays

The following itinerary may change to suit the needs of the group. We may stick to the plan we may go slower or crazier. It all depends on daily water levels and how we will feel about our kayaking!

Welcome to Mexico! Arrive in Mexico City in the morning before noon, wait for group to assemble and drive ~4,5 hour to Aventurec, where we’ll be spending the majority of our stay is the
premiere whitewater ecohotel in Mexico, in the afternoon where you’ll get settled
into your accommodation before dinner and discussing the plan for the next day. If you have a great flight arriving evening before – check our FAQ for recommended hotel nearby.

Accomodation: Our base for whole stay is going to be at Aventurec

A class III boulder garden section, starting with a paddle back up a step gorge to

see the beautiful Encanto waterfall, we’ll shake off the mid-winter cobwebs with

opportunities to practice water-reading, and boofing.

A class ~III run in an unrivaled setting, winding through the steep cliffs and jungles

of Veracruz. Get your first experience of a Mexican hike-in (25-minutes through

jungle paths) and focus on roles in the team and safety techniques.

The headwaters of the world famous Alseseca River, class IV low volume steep

slides and waterfalls allow for a great fun day to be coached down our first dive into

Mexican style creeking

After the travel and 3 days of paddling take a slower morning to reflect and recover,

with the option of afternoon cultural trip to ancient pyramid ruins. Stop on the

Journey home for dinner at a popular restaurant Mexican restaurant.

Clean boof heaven! Enjoy the stunning hike into a

beautiful jungle gorge full of great boofs and rapids! The perfect next step from

Roadside.

Roadside.

Start the day on a series of cascading “water boofs” over hydraulics and holes, we’ll use the skills we learned at roadside and on the Lower Jalacingo to launch ourselves off the drops of the Lower Alseseca River

a 25ft Waterfall on the Jalacingo River. Use your new skills during a Park and huck day at Truchitas, giving a perfect opportunity to get used to running waterfalls, working on that entry angle and tuck! Run the drop as many times as you like to improve and get comfortable on this lower volume friendly waterfall.

Taker another day to relax, get a massage after 3 days of boofs and drops and enjoy the Zip line at Aventurec. Visit a local restaurant for dinner, reflect on the week so far and discuss the options for the final few days of kayaking.

Depending on group skills and water levels, hike into the world famous big banana section of the Alseseca. Put in below the stunning 130ft Huata minmillo waterfall and kayak the rapids and water falls in the top section of this stunning jungle gorge. A great step up from the the other days on the river, combing all the skills learnt so far to safely navigate our team trough this committed gorge.

Decide as a group your favourite section so far that you’d like to paddle again, take an easier run to wind down on your last day paddling or choose a harder run that you’d like to clean up your lines on!

Pack up and say goodbye to your Coaches and the Aventurec team, travel to the

airport and begin your journey home. We will leave to the airport early in the morning. Please book your flights in the evening not before 4pm.

Due to the nature of adventure kayaking, the following itinerary has to remain flexible. The LiLi team have coached many hundreds of people with a wide range of abilities and backgrounds on big volume across the world. This local knowledge will be used to adjust the itinerary to suit the individuals and to maximise progression over the course of the trip.

Intermediate / advanced paddlers. If you have a reasonable level of fitness, a solid whitewater roll and you are happy to run creeks, drops, slides and waterfalls on class IV then there will be plenty of fun to be had in Mexico.

A minimum group size of 7 is need to be reached for this trip to go ahead.

Kayak rental is $280 for a duration of the course for kayak based on availability. We can also rent you a paddle at $150 per trip. When renting please be sure to bring 2 air bags and additional hip pads/foam bits that you would have in your boat. We usually source private boats and these won’t have these pieces.

For accomodation in Mexico City we would recommend this hotel; it is comfortable and reasonable price for quality, you can find cheaper ones a bit further but then it involves taxi/travelling. It is literally next to Terminal 1 so could even walk there. We also know it is safe and very comfortable which after a long travel will definetly be appreciated!
