The Top 12 River Trips of the World

Our river exploration team asked 20 international river guides, what are the top 12 river trips in the world. An interesting question with very interesting answers. The first think we need to make clear is what makes a river, enter into the top 12 river trips. It is not just all about the river and its rapids, it is more about the flora and fauna arround the river trip, the journey to the put in, the ruins that you might find, the people that live at the river side and much more.
So after speaking with 20 international river guides, the following 12 rivers where classed as the best river trips in the world.

1: The River Jatate in Chiapas, Mexico.
2: The River Usimacinta in Chiapas, Mexico.
3: The River Coruh in north east Turkey.
4: The River Zambezi in Zimbabwe, Africa.
5: The River White Nile in Uganda, Africa.
6: The River Omo in Ethiopia.
7: The River Colorado in the United States.
8: The River Ganges in North India.
9: The River Sun Kosi in Nepal.
10: The River Indus in North India.
11: The River Futalafu in Chile.
12: The River Apruimac in Peru.

Now this list changes every few years as rivers get dammed up o simply destroyed by contamination but for now this is the top 12 river trips in the world.
