Considerations for this ranking:

• We’ve mentioned the province to which they belong, the closes city and the river class.
• All of these rivers are commercial.
• Barefoot Expeditions operates trips in all the rivers mentioned above.
• We did not list any rivers in the Banos area because they are contaminated and we do not support the utilization of those rivers for water activities nor we endorse the blatant disregard by the authorities of the issues that these rivers face.
