This section of the mighty Reventazón River 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 paddler looking for the excitement of big
waves, hydraulics, and stunning scenery, then this trip is for you.
The drive from San Jose takes you through the impressive Braulio Carrillo National
Park, past rainforest and waterfalls across the Continental Divide to the Caribbean
side of the country.
At our Operations Center you will have breakfast, there are bathrooms, changing
rooms and an area to buy last minute needs. After your safety orientation, the
first rapid of the day will set the pace for more to come. As your raft rounds
each new bend in this dam-controlled river, you'll be greeted with yet another
breathtaking view of the Reventazón Valley. Look for toucans, kingfishers,
herons, tanagers, iguanas and bright green "Jesus Christ" lizards.
After a fun and exhilarating day of big waves, hydraulics and stunning scenery,
you'll finish your trip with a stop at our Operations Center for a delicious
hot lunch, showers, optional drinks and souvenir store before the return drive
to San José. This one-day adventure is unforgettable!
