 Rafting and Riding in Costa Rica
Whitewater Rafting and Equestrian Getaway

Enjoy the  finest whitewater in Latin America. The  beautiful Sarapiqui River and the wild, untamed Pacuare River may be the ultimate wilderness experience.  Combine the thrill of class III-IV rapids with riding horses on tropical beaches and what do you get......the realization that the fulfillment of dreams do come true in Costa Rica!
Costa Rica offers some of the world's finest whitewater rafting and kayaking rivers. Wild and untamed, these big, brash rivers plunge through spectacularly beautiful, largely unexplored tropical wilderness. The Pacuare (pah KWAH ray) is the quintessential tropical river. Along its course lie several densely vegetated gorges which shelter jaguars, ocelots, monkeys, sloths, and an incredible variety of birds. Also found within these gorges is some of the best whitewater in all of Central America, ranging up to Class V in difficulty. The Pacuare is the only river in Costa Rica which contains these amenities, including virgin rain forest, while also being quite accessible. The lowland tropical forest here is remarkable for its luxuriant variety and the amazing abundance and diversity of wildlife found within it. This trip combines exhilarating rafting with great horseback riding on the beaches and hinterland.
