 This
calm, quiet section of Río Sarapiquí winds through tropical wet
forest on the Caribbean side of the country and is perfect for
nature lovers and birdwatchers. After being picked up in the early
morning from your hotel in San José, you will drive by private,
comfortable, air-conditioned bus to a local restaurant for a
delicious, typical Costa Rican breakfast. On the way to the river,
you'll pass by majestic La Paz waterfall and rolling, verdant fields
of coffee, papayas, sugar cane and ferns.
Upon arrival to Río Sarapiquí, your friendly and professional guides
will outfit you with lifejackets and paddles and give you a safety
orientation for the river. You will begin rafting where the Class
III trip finishes and continue down to Puerto Viejo. In some parts
of the river you will pass green pastures and farmland, and delight
in the sight of local children frolicking along shore.
The lower half of the river winds along the borders of the
beautiful, protected La Selva Biological Reserve - thick with lush
vegetation, towering trees, vines and flowers. Along the riverbank,
you'll stop for a luscious buffet picnic lunch prepared by your
guides. Then it's back on the river enjoying the peace and quiet of
the rainforest, and to watch iguanas, turtles and numerous species
of birds.
After finishing rafting, you'll drive 15 minutes to our rest-stop
where you can change into dry clothes and enjoy a cold or hot drink.
On the return drive to San José, you'll enjoy remarkable views of
Braulio Carrillo National Park and Irazú Volcano.
