Our tips:

El Rio Grande

El Rio Grande is the river rapids ride in Exotic, the colourful and festive area of the park. In round boats, you take a wild trip together along a 375-metre river.

The concept

You sit with a small group in a round boat that drifts along the wild river. Because the boat spins around, you never know who's going to get wet. The scenery is cheerful and colourful, with painted walls and towers along the water.

The Experience

Waves, rapids and splashing water make for plenty of fun. The highlight is the waterfall: that's where the water comes from above. A real ride for a warm day, with the whole family or with friends.

You will get wet

You'll hardly ever come out of El Rio Grande dry. Watch out for the waterfall.

Use a poncho

Want to stay dry for the rest of the day? Bring a poncho or dry clothes.

Consider Fast Lane

Want a shorter wait? With Fast Lane you reserve a slot digitally and enter via the Fast Lane entrance. You can buy it in the ticket shop or in the Walibi app; park admission is not included.

Visitor information

Children from 0.90 metres may ride when accompanied by an adult. From 1.40 metres you can ride alone. The ride is suitable for pregnant women. With the baby switch, parents don't have to queue twice: one parent goes on the ride while the other waits with the child at the exit, then boards via the exit.

Wild water in Exotic

After El Rio Grande, dry off on the terrace of Haciënda, overlooking Los Sombreros and Condor. Or head straight for another wet ride on Crazy River.
