Whitewater Rafting

Whitewater Rafting

We went whitewater rafting with Desafio Tours, leaving from La Fortuna, where we were picked up at our hotel, for an all-day trip down Class IV Rio Toro.

We were divided up into groups of four or five, each with a guide; given a safety talk; and sent down the river. Everyone had a blast, and the guides were friendly, knowledgeable, safe, and fun.

The river itself was beautiful and the whitewater was a blast. There were a few spills out of the boat, but all in good fun.

After the approximately 2- to 3-hour float, we were met at the takeout point with a beautiful spread of fresh fruit waiting for us.

After the snack, we boarded a bus, stopped at a grocery for celebratory beers, and then were taken to Desafio headquarters for an awesome spread of typical Costa Rican lunch (at around 2 or 3pm) by the side of a river, with outside tables and hammocks for relaxing.

The whitewater rafting trip was one of the highlights of our Costa Rican adventures.
