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. If Matisse had come to
Costa Rica, this is what he would have painted!
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!
