Description:
In this section the river is fairly wide in most parts and winds its way through hilly country, giving the impression of isolation in some stretches. It is a most picturesque trip and recommended for the appreciative tourer. The first 2km have good straightforward and enjoyable grade 1-2 rapids which gradually ease. A long grade 2 rapid near the end of the trip provides an interesting finish. Be aware of swimmers in the last 2km.
