Pure Costa Rica White Water Rafting

Pure Costa Rica White Water Rafting - 4 Days / 3 Nights

Day 1

Florida Section. Class III - This section of the mighty Reventazón River of Costa Rica is some of the fastest and best 10 miles of Class III rapids you'll ever paddle! If you're a first-time or experienced paddlers looking for the excitement of big waves, hydraulics, and stunning scenery, then this rafting trip is for you. Overnight at Turrialtico or similar.

Day 2

Río Pacuare. Class III-IV - Tres Equis at our Campsite. We will pick you up at Pochotel at 9:00 a.m. and drive to the little town of Tres Equis. At the road head there, we will transfer our overnight gear into dry bags, load our drafts onto the truck and ride about 4 Km to the river.

Once on the water, we work as a team to run our rafts through Class III rapids, each one bigger than the one before it!! We will have lunch on the river, and our overnight gear and food will be transported with us to camp by our guides in oared rafts.

Rios Tropicales Lodge is in the heart of the Costa Rica rainforest. We provide you with a delicious happy hour and dinner. Traditional Indian "RANCHOS" provide exceptional shelter for lodging and the evening's activities. And do not forget to take some time in the waterfall that cascades out of the forest, through our camp, and into the Pacuare itself!! You will never forget the experience of sleeping in the rainforest. (B,L,D)

Day 3

After an early morning coffee and breakfast, we leave the campsite and head down river. Morning is a wonderful time for bird-watching, especially toucans, right in camp!! Back into the whitewater when we put in. Class III and IV rapids await us downstream. Terciopelo, Double Drop, The Huacas ... one after the next until take out. Depending on the weather, the river level and our group interest, we take time to explore side creeds, catch a sun tan, and enjoy world class whitewater. We will make it to take out by mid-afternoon, de-rig our rafts, and return to Pochotel. (B,L,D)

Day 4

Paddle through rapids known as the North Sea or Horrendito, feel the thrill of Class IV Costa Rica rafting. Return to San José in the afternoon.
