Rafting in Nature: A Unique and Environmentally Respectful Experience
With Midou, rafting becomes much more than just a sports activity. It's a true immersion in the heart of alpine nature, a human and environmental adventure. Sensitive to the preservation of "Pachamama" (Mother Earth), Midou incorporates an ecological dimension into his outings. He shares his knowledge of local flora and fauna, raises awareness about the importance of protecting these fragile ecosystems, and encourages you to adopt a responsible attitude towards the environment.
An International Experience and a Shared Passion

For 20 years, he explored and developed rafting activities in Colombia, where he opened new rivers and founded his own rafting agency, Magdalenarafting. There, he trained local Colombian guides, transmitting his expertise and passion for whitewater sports. These international experiences strengthened his commitment to environmental protection and the promotion of sustainable tourism.
But Midou is always present in the Hautes-Alpes, where he continues to share his passion with whitewater sports enthusiasts of all levels. Whether you are a seasoned adventurer or a beginner looking for thrills, Midou guarantees you a unique and memorable experience.
