The descent of rivers or balsismo, known internationally as rafting, is a sporting and recreational activity that consists of crossing the river bed in the direction of the current (downstream), usually on some type of boat or raft.

Usually the rivers that are navigated have some degree of turbulence, these are also called "white water" rivers because this color is characteristic of the foam that generates the turbulence in the bodies of water.

It consists of challenging the river currents through its rapids in a mini rubber raft and a few oars, a lot of effort must be made not to destabilize the raft and be dragged by the current.
