Ríos to Rivers Team

Ríos to Rivers is a group of committed river-runners with roots in the river systems in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, and the United States. We are educators, artists, filmmakers, writers, scientists, coaches, philanthropists, energy experts, environmentalists, and humanitarians; our diverse backgrounds converge through our shared passion for healthy rivers. Our passion is to facilitate place-based educational experiences that empower the next generation of river stewards!
