RIO REVENTAZON - PASCUA SECTION - FLORIDA SECTION - TRIP ITINERARIES

This is one of Costa Rica's top rivers. It has the hardest commercial runs in the country, as well as the biggest white water. With over 65kms (40 miles) of rapids, it has two different sections to choose from: Pascua and Florida. All of them are one day trips easily done from San José or the Caribbean Coast, or better yet to be combined with another trip. They are described from bottom to top, as difficulty increases.

The Reventazón is your best choice for late dry season months (March and April). It maintains very good water levels, as other rivers start getting really low.


PASCUA SECTION

•Difficulty: Class IV +
•Distance: 24 Km /15 miles
•Number of rapids: 44
•Approximate river time: 4 Hours
•Minimun age: 15 years

After paddling the Pascua section of the Reventazon River, adventurers agree that these are the best rapids they have conquered. A classic, big water run, Pascua is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat, literally! And when we say big, well, we will let you decide what exactly our definition of big means. For example, some of the waves on this run are bigger than the raft.

Rapids like "Dirty Mind", "The Abyss", "Indigestion" and "Horrendito" are among the fifteen class IV rapids you will run. While basking in the excitement of the adventure, one will also have the opportunity to notice the scenery and how complimentary it is in its sheer beauty. There is a variety of big mountain landscapes which include superb views of the nearby Turrialba Volcano (3234 msnm).

This 24 km run (15 miles) takes about three hours which includes lunch on the river.

FLORIDA SECTION

•Difficulty: Class II -III
•Distance: 16 Km /10 miles
•Number of rapids: 18
•Approximate river time:2 2/1Hours
•Minimun age: 9 years

•trip itinerary

A great big water run, with moderate difficulty. The lush surroundings, abundant bird life and good amount of fun rapids makes this a great introduction to river running. This run is clearly divided in two halves. The first hour is very exciting, with big waves and long rapids.

We stop for a first class buffet lunch, a pic nic at the prettiest beach on the river. The second half is more relaxed as the river enters the true lower Caribbean, the surroundings take on a jungle character and the wildlife is more plentiful. At the end we take you to our Exploration Center, where you can change, shower and relax.
