Winding
through the region of the "Eternal Spring," this river offers
some of Costa Rica's most lush and vibrant scenery. Free-flowing,
it has its origins in clear mountain streams that tumble down through
thick rainforest, finally joining together in the crystal waters of
the beautiful Sarapiquí. Verdant forest reaches right up to
the river's sun-basked banks. If Matisse had come to Costa Rica, this
is what he would have painted!
This narrow, low-volume
river is ideal for white-water novices, as well as families, all
of whom will enjoy its moderately flowing rapids, interspersed with
tranquil stretches. The journey is also excellent for bird-watchers
and other nature lovers, as the river stretches its way through
lush vegetation that is home to hummingbirds, toucans, woodpeckers,
and scores of other native bird species. Don't miss this classic
tropical river experience!
We will pick you up from
your San José hotel, driving approximately 2 1/2 hours to
the river put-in. A traditional breakfast is served at a restaurant
en route. After a short safety briefing, you will rig your raft
and begin the journey downriver. Lunch is served on the banks of
the river. Take out will be in the afternoon, at which time you
can change into dry clothes in our private restroom facilities before
your return to San José.
