Signing up to two long (18 and 30 days) trips down the Marañon River in Northern Peru was quite a commitment to the unknown.  Unfamiliar with the river, the groups, and really anything to do with long rafting expeditions it was going to be a big adventure and learning experience.  Sierra Rios runs regular trips down this beautiful river and can accommodate all levels of paddlers/rafters on trips ranging from a week to 30 days.  Check out the website at www.sierrarios.org for more information.

The Marañon River is considered the hydrological source of the Amazon being the river that adds the most volume to the Amazon River.  Over the two trips we paddled over 500km of this river passing through stunning canyons, long flat stretches and some excellent big-volume rapids. We chose to take playboats as we had the rafts to carry all our gear and it gave us the opportunity to catch and play on some of the excellent surf waves on the way down the river.
