Bring the entire family and join us on the Rio Chama for the most scenic multiple day river trip in New Mexico. We begin the 33 mile river trip outside of the the alpine town of Chama, NM and float down into a stunning and colorful sandstone and limestone canyon finishing up near the renouned artist village of Abiquiu. The upper reaches of the river are well known for the fantastic trout fishing and gorgeous pine trees lining the banks of the river. This stretch of river hides many treasures within the high reaching walls from hot springs to homesteads to ancient dinosaur tracks. We will spend two nights at camps that are right on the river's edge and backed up by excellent opportunities for hiking and the exploration of numerous side canyons and vistas. We highly recommend that the adventurous types opt for navigating the river in their own craft, an inflatable kayak. We always bring a large oar powered raft to carry the equipment needed for this incredible wilderness experience. Of course there will also be paddle boats that allow everyone the opportunity to be active in our voyage down this Wild and Scenic River.

Minimum age for the three day Rio Chama is 5 y/o; children should be adventurous and have some previous outdoor experiences.
