Whitewater Rafting on the Sarapiquí River, Costa Rica – Class III

About this experience

Our experienced guides will tell you everything you need to know about whitewater rafting and guide your team safely through the exhilarating and breathtaking rapids. Not only are they trained whitewater guides, but they will also share their expertise on the abundant flora and fauna of Sarapiquí. La Virgen is particularly suitable for wildlife lovers given the more moderate pace of the rapids, allowing more time to explore the banks and treetops in search of birds, reptiles, and mammals. Halfway through the trip, we'll stop at our majestic lunch spot to offer a chance to stretch your legs and fill your stomach with a delicious riverside lunch.
