RAFTING

Exploradores 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.
