The rivers for whitewater rafting are ranked depending on their roughness and maneuverability. The easiest will be Class I which is practically peanuts for any one since it does not have a lot of rough areas and does not require maneuvering. Class IV or V is the other end of the story where the rapids is practically unraftable.
We list down some of the top whitewater rafting destinations:
Magpie River in Quebec, Canada
You will begin your trip by traversing the Magpie Lake and pine forest on the eastern portion of Quebec. The first taste of the rapids will be there as you enter the Magpie River from lake. The waters will be rougher and rougher as you go down the river until the challenge peaks when you deal with the whitewater produced by the currents from the Magpie Falls.
Rio Upano in Ecuador
It is like paradise as painted in fairy tales with rain forest and butterflies flying around you. Your hunt for adrenalin will start on the waters near Macas. From there your skills will be challenged through narrow water passages and rough rides but there will be gentle stretches which will allow you to enjoy the breeze and view.
Coruh River in Turkey
