In the dry season (April to October), the river&#8217;s rapids are typically at levels 2 and 3, offering an exciting yet safe experience, suitable for people with some experience in water sports. During the rainy season (November to March), the river&#8217;s flow increases, and the rapids can reach levels 4 and 5, making the activity more challenging and dangerous. For this reason, it is recommended to do rafting on the Alto Madre de Dios River during the dry season to ensure greater safety and enjoy the experience without setbacks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Connecting_with_Nature_Pongo_Conec\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Connecting with Nature: Pongo Co\u00f1ec<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Near the end of the journey, you will pass through an impressive <strong>pongo<\/strong> or <strong>canyon<\/strong>, a natural rock formation that will leave you in awe.
