The Panamerican Rafting Championships brought together not only fierce competition but also the warmth of beautiful people, bright smiles, and unforgettable landscapes. From the towering volcano that stood watch over us to the pristine, breathtaking river that carved our path, nature became the backdrop of a truly memorable event.
Throughout these days, we’ve witnessed teams from across the Americas push their limits, driven by a shared love for adventure and teamwork. Congratulations to our champions who stood out in each category:
In the Women’s division, Team Argentina 1 paddled to victory, with Chile 1 securing silver and Canada 1 capturing bronze. For the Mixed teams, Brazil 1 claimed the gold, followed by Argentina 1 with silver and Costa Rica 1 with bronze. The Men’s category saw an impressive performance from Brazil, who took both gold (Brazil 2) and silver (Brazil 1), with Costa Rica achieving bronze. And finally, in Para-Rafting, Brazil 1 emerged victorious with gold, followed by Colombia 1 with silver, and Chile 1 with bronze.
A heartfelt thank you to all teams, coaches, volunteers, and supporters who made this championship a true celebration of our sport. Your dedication and passion are the heart of this event.
Looking ahead, we are excited to announce that Brazil proposed to host of the next Pan American Rafting Championships in 2026, a new adventure that promises even more remarkable moments and challenges. We can’t wait to see you all next year on the river — until then, may the spirit of the river stay with you all.
