Costa Rica One Day Tour Description  
  Rafting on the Reventazón River 
- Florida Section -
(Class III)

This is a truly delightful rafting experience that everyone will enjoy, and ideal for those who are testing themselves on whitewater for the first time. Beginning near a picturesque train station that was once a stop along Costa Rica's famous Jungle Train, and continuing along this classic trajectory, this section offers beautiful jungle scenery with wide open spaces back dropped by the magnificent Turrialba Volcano. The emotion of numerous rapids completes this exceptional white-water experience on the mighty Reventazón River.

To begin the trip, we will pick you up from your San José hotel in one of our comfortable minibuses for your journey to the river put in. This trip offers the added extra of taking you along the highway that runs through spectacular Braulio Carrillo National Park. As you wind through this protected area's mountains and valleys, you will enjoy spectacular views of mist-shrouded virgin rainforest stretching as far as the eye can see.

Once through the national park and down in the tropical lowlands, you will stop for a traditional Costa Rican breakfast, and continue on to the river put in. After some brief safety instructions, you'll launch your raft and begin this exciting white-water journey. A delicious lunch is served on the banks of the river during the trip. At the river take out, you will be able to change into dry clothes for the return to San José.
