Global Descents

Photo:

On a Global Descents river trip you'll experience a lot more than just whitewater. Before hitting the rapids, you might spend time learning about locals' spirituality in Ladakh's Buddhist monasteries or you could visit a cluster of remote Ethiopian villages. Afterward, it's time to rip—this outfitter charges down some of the world's premier stretches of whitewater, including the Futaleufu and Zambezi Rivers.
