The Experience
What your day looks like
If you’re ready for some of the fastest and best 10 miles of Class II-III rapids, the Florida section of the mighty Reventazón River is ready for you! This day trip is perfect for first-timers or those wanting a less intense rafting experience. As your raft rounds each new bend in this dam-controlled river, you’ll be greeted with yet another breathtaking view of the Reventazón Valley. Look for toucans, kingfishers, herons, tanagers, iguanas and emerald basilisks. On the drive to the put-in, you’ll pass through the impressive Braulio Carrillo National Park, past rainforest and waterfalls across the Continental Divide to the Caribbean side of the country.
