Get ready for one of Peru’s most exciting aquatic sports events—the Monzón River Fest 2024! Set in the stunning Monzón Valley in Huánuco, this festival has grown from a local initiative into a national phenomenon, drawing the best athletes from across the country. From September 6th to 8th, the valley will come alive with the adrenaline-pumping action of national rafting, canoe slalom, and kayak cross competitions.
The Monzón River Fest has deep roots in the community, thanks to Jhon Silva Serna, a passionate local promoter and trainer. His love for the Rio Monzón inspired him to launch the festival, which has since nurtured a new generation of paddlers. Among them is 17-year-old Juan Antonio Carrasco, who now competes as part of Peru’s national canoeing team—a testament to the event’s transformative impact on the Monzón Valley.
This year’s festival is more than just a competition; it’s a stepping stone for athletes aiming to join Peru’s national team for international events. With top-tier talent from across the country and international teams invited to compete, the Monzón River Fest 2024 promises to be a spectacle of skill, speed, and sportsmanship.
Don’t miss your chance to witness this thrilling event, where adventure meets tradition, and the Monzón River’s powerful currents become the stage for Peru’s finest aquatic athletes. See you at the Monzón River Fest 2024!
