Guides have joined efforts to bring to you these great adventures!
Come join Boulder Outdoor Center and Renaissance Adventure Guides in
Costa Rica for the kayak adventure of your lifetime. Warm water, big
hydraulics, friendly play-holes, glassy waves and beautiful jungles:
need we say more. Here are some of the descriptions of a few of the
rivers we will tackle on this seven-day paddle extravaganza:
The Pacuare River is one of the top five rafting rivers in the world
for its scenery and rapids. This quintessential tropical river is a
trip of pure magic, unsurpassed beauty, wildlife and exhilarating rapids.
We will overnight at the infamous Rios Tropicales Lodge for some of
the finest post-river activities to be found anywhere in the world.
The mighty Reventazón River is some of the fastest and best 10
miles of Class III rapids you'll ever paddle! If you're a first-time
or experienced paddler looking for the excitement of big waves, hydraulics,
and stunning scenery, then this trip is for you.
Ambling from its source on Mt. Chirripó, the General River offers
exciting whitewater in a rich tropical environment. The General, which
compares favorably to California's Toulumne and Idaho's famous Middle
Fork of the Salmon, is one of the finest whitewater rivers in the world.
A gradient of 50 feet/mile and flows up to 10,000 cubic meters per second,
produce more than 100 Class III and Class IV rapids in the first forty
miles. Innumerable waterfalls cascade into the river. The beauty of
the wide, tropical canyon and pasturelands is unsurpassed. There is
a great variety of wildlife, from tropical birds to three-foot long
multicolored iguanas sunning themselves on the rocks and trees.
