Rio Do Café
Rio Do Café is Bellewaerde's log flume, in Mundo Amazonia. The ride has been around since 1980 and is a classic for the whole family. You float through the Amazon rainforest in a hollowed-out tree trunk.
The concept
The story revolves around a hollowed-out trunk of an ancient sequoia and a wild river. You climb into your own log with your family and the adventure through the rainforest can begin. The 380-metre route winds through the greenery of the park's newest area.
The Experience
Much of the ride is calm. Just when you think it's all over, you plunge 12 metres down at breakneck speed. You land at the bottom with a splash. There's a good chance you'll get wet, especially if you're sitting at the front.
Discover Rio Do Café
Sit at the front if you dare
At the front you get the most spray on the drop. At the back you often stay a little drier.
Ride photo
An on-ride photo is taken during the drop. After the ride, take a look at how wet you got.
For the little ones
Too small? Nearby is Rio Do Cacao, the mini version of these logs.
Visitor information
From 0.90 metres you can ride accompanied by an adult. From 1.20 metres you can ride alone. Children are measured with their shoes on. In the Bellewaerde app you can check in advance who is allowed on which ride. You must be able to get in and out on your own. The park warns of slippery surfaces.
