Women's Beginner Week
Learn to kayak or improve your basic skills on the beautiful and exotic rivers of Mexico. Anna will teach you all the basics including the roll, basic strokes and river running. Off the water you'll get to experience the relaxing pace, warm welcome and delicious local food that Mexico offers. Morning yoga classes start your days with the inspiration and flow you need to push your limits in a fun and rewarding way. This trip is for novices and beginners - no prior kayaking experience is necessary. We'll be paddling in flatwater and on class II and some III rapids.
