The Experience

What your day looks like

Your breath-taking, adventure begins with an early pickup directly from your San Jose hotel and a relaxing drive through the wonderful Costa Rican countryside on an air-conditioned private transportation and a professional naturalist tour guide. The driving distance from San Jose to Hacienda Pozo Azul in La Virgen de Sarapiqui will take about 90 minutes. Along the way, enjoy the beauty of the second largest National Park in Costa Rica: The Braulio Carrillo. The highway divides the park into 2 big sections, so, you can enjoy a pristine rainforest with great scenic views. Once in the Caribbean slope, learn about the local culture, the particular architecture of the Caribbean, the most important crops including bananas, cassava, pineapple, the heart of palm, cashews, sugar cane, and more. Sarapiqui is the name of the river and it is the most important tourist attraction in the region. In the upper part, the river is perfect for the practice of Whitewater Rafting. In the Lower Part, boat tours, transfers, and fishing are important economic activities. Costa Rica provides White Water Rafting experiences that take your adrenaline to top levels and fascinating Canopy Tours going high above the treetops. Now you can extraordinarily enjoy the two activities. Discover the natural marvels of Sarapiqui; an extensive territory located in the northeastern parts of the country, with a variety of crystal clear rivers, an abundance of beautiful tropical forests, and villages inhabited by friendly and laborious people. The Canopy Tour takes about an hour and a half and the nine cables of different lengths stretch over the forest with the last one crossing the Sarapiqui River. The rafting at Sarapiqui River has different levels between class II and class III, presenting vibrant scenery to those who want to participate in this exciting activity. Nine miles of unexpected rapids in combination with calm and relaxing intervals make this an unforgettable experience for bird watchers and nature lovers.
