Beautiful BoquillasFor visitors with less experience, a relaxing two to four day river trip through Boquillas Canyon is a great choice. The rapids in this 33-mile journey only rate up to Class II. Camping a couple of nights by the soothing sounds of the river, and marveling at the 1,200 foot canyon walls, allow time to forget the daily distractions of life. As you travel down the canyon, notice the remains of candelilla wax mining camps on the Mexican side of the river. This trip takes three days at most water levels. At flow rates above 800 CFS a two-day trip is possible, but frequent headwinds through the canyon can slow any trip considerably. Put-in and take-out informationThe 33-mile, two to three day trip begins at Rio Grande Village and ends at Heath Canyon (downstream from La Linda).
