TOUR: Rafting on the Sarapiquí River -

Winding through the region of the “Eternal Spring,” this river offers some of Costa Rica’s most
lush and vibrant scenery. Free-flowing, it has its origins in clear mountain streams that tumble down
through thick rainforest, finally joining together in the crystal waters of the beautiful Sarapiquí.
Verdant forest reaches right up to the river’s sun-basked banks.
This narrow, low-volume river is ideal for white-water novices, as well as families, all of whom will
enjoy its moderately flowing rapids, interspersed with tranquil stretches. The journey is also excellent
for bird-watchers and other nature lovers, as the river stretches its way through lush vegetation
that is home to hummingbirds, toucans, woodpeckers, and scores of other native bird species.
Don’t miss this classic tropical river experience!
