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.
