White Water Rafting
Watching the gushing water as your raft sluices through Costa Rican rapids at breakneck speeds is nothing if not intense. While most of this country’s rapids fall within the class III-IV categories, all are sure to get your heart pounding. Best of all, white water rafting as a sport has virtually no negative impact upon the environment – it is a green and guilt-free activity.
Pacuare River
The Rio Pacuare is a scenic river deep within a valley – perfect for white water rafting and kayaking. During calm stretches, it is not uncommon to spot wild horses grazing along the banks and monkeys lazing about the treetops; anteaters, otters, toucans and even jaguars are also known to inhabit this area. The Upper Upper Section of the Pacuare River consists of 16 miles of class II and III rapids. The Upper Section is a bit more complicated, with waterfalls and 10 miles of class VI and V rapids. The Lower Section is the most popular place for both amateur and experienced rafters, with unpredictable and exciting dips, drops and curves.
Sarapiqui River
On the eastern side of the country, the wild Rio Sarapiqui winds for 53 miles through raw Costa Rican wilderness. Beginners will love the class II-III rapids that roll up and down the river like a roller coaster. This impressive river is surrounded by lush coffee and banana plantations, as well as abundant animals like sloths, white face monkeys and coatimundis.
Reventazon River
This beautiful river flows through three valleys and merges with the Parismina River before finally emptying into the Caribbean Sea. Fast flowing waters, majestic mountain backdrops and verdant plant life combine to create this white water rafting paradise. Day trips usually include breakfast, lunch and an air conditioned ride to and from the take off point.
