River Kayaking - Guanacaste Costa Rica's mountainous topography and copious rainfall are together responsible for one of the best white water river selections in the world. Rivers are regularly run by experienced rafting outfitters, and those river trips not only provide plenty of excitement, they also pass some gorgeous scenery. Not only do white water enthusiasts flock Guanacaste, including several Olympic kayaking teams, but every year tens of thousands of visitors experience the thrill of rafting for the first time there. Guanacaste is the perfect place for a first white water rafting experience, since it rivers offer a combination of reasonable rapids and beautiful floats. There are even rivers that are great for family excursions and bird watching, since they lack big rapids and flow through forests full of birds and other animals. In fact almost all river trips offer chances to see a bit of the country's wildlife, such as iguanas, blue morpho butterflies, parrots, and herons. The river routes available to rafters range from turbulent waters where you hardly have enough time to catch your breath between rapids, to meandering curves where you spend more time watching wildlife than paddling. All rafting trips can also be done in kayaks, but kayakers must be experienced. |
