Personal equipment
Extremo Sur offers comfort and safety to our passengers with the best equipment available on the international market:
Life vests: manufactured under U. S. Coast Guard standards. They are specifically designed for whitewater rafting.
Pro-tec Helmets: known worldwide for their comfort and protection. Lateral pads have openings that allow users to hear normally.
Carlisle Paddles: made of aluminum and reinforced plastic. They are super resistant and light. They are polyethylene coated for a warm and safe grip.
NRS Waterproof jackets and pants: made of very resistant and light nylon, with elastic neoprene neck and cuffs and adjustable waist closure, which keep out water from rain or splash.
NRS neoprene suits: made of DuPont 3mm neoprene, with extra knee protection. These suits are worn in Class III and IV rivers.
Dry bags: waterproof bags that are used to carry personal items such as extra coat, tanning lotion, etc.
Rafts: our fleet is made up by modern and resistant standard or self bailing rafts. These boats consist of several air compartments, which make them unsinkable. We have well-known brands rafts, such as AIRE, NRS and H2O.
There are two choices for rafting: with paddles or with oars.
Paddle boats
Depending on the river difficulty, the boat has capacity for 8 or 10 people plus the guide. In this mode,
all the members of the group are involved: each person carries a paddle and participates actively as
part of a team, sometimes paddling softly and other times frantically.
Oar boats
In this case, the boat is maneuvered only by the guide, who rides it with a system of central oars secured to the raft through a frame. We usually use this system when there are many kids, or in cases in which passengers prefer not to paddle and but relax or take pictures instead.
Kayaks: We have two kinds of kayaks: rigid and inflatable.
Rigid Kayaks: They are made of rotomolded polyethylene. They are super resistant and agile.
Inflatable Kayaks or Duckies: They are inflatable boats for one or two people, with separate air chambers that make them unsinkable.
We have modern and comfortable Mercedes Benz Sprinter units to transport passengers from their lodging to the river and back.
On all our excursions, we carry complete safety equipment.
