Covering a total of 33 miles, the Boquillas Canyon Trip takes you past the small village of Boquillas, Mexico and into the dramatic canyon that has cut its way through the Dead Horse Mountains. Beginning at Rio Grande Village, this river trip allows for deep exploration of the east side of Big Bend National Park. This trip is a hiker’s dream, with miles of remote side canyons and overland hikes made accessible by the Rio Grande. A few rapids make this an exciting stretch of river and the vegetated banks along the shorelines make camping very enjoyable. Boquillas Canyon is also filled with interesting human history that ranges from the Spaniards and Apaches to the rugged settlers of the present-day.
