Outdoors
Located: Sarapiqui,
Heredia, Costa Rica.
Description: Neighboring La Selva Biological Station, the Sarapiqui River
offers the best wild life viewing opportunities. This mid-elevation, southern Caribbean
area is of great importance, of which value is measured in terms
of its biodiversity. It hosts many different kinds of wildlife
such as: toucans, waterbirds, monkeys, sloths and butterflies. The
Sarapiqui's rapids are moderate class II-III. Thus, it is the
perfect adventure for families with children. Rapids such as
"Confusión", "Ay Caramba" and "Roller
Coaster" will satisfy your daily dosage for adrenaline and
water splash! In addition, the clear, warm water is perfect for
enjoying a swim between rapids. We
also recommend this section for descents in an inflatable kayak, a
two person canoe-like craft. This is an ideal opportunity for
those looking for a greater challenge. These crafts are very
stable, easy to maneuver, and really fun! The
Sarapiquí can be run as a one day trip, both from San José
and the Arenal
Volcano area. From either place it takes hour and 30 minutes
to get to the put inn at La Virgen. The run takes two and a half
hours combining spectacular rainforest with colorful farmlands. Because it’s
relatively small drainage area the Sarapiqui does become too low
to run in the dry season. It is recommended at medium to high
water levels during the rainy season.
