Your adventure begins with morning pickup from selected San José hotels. Travel by comfortable vehicle through the green landscapes of Braulio Carrillo National Park, crossing the Continental Divide toward Costa Rica’s Caribbean slope.

At the Reventazón River, your professional bilingual guides provide a paddling demonstration and safety briefing before launching on the Florida section. Work together as a team through fun Class II–III rapids, calmer stretches and changing scenery that moves from tropical forest toward open agricultural landscapes.

After approximately two hours on the water, transfer to the operations center for a hot lunch. Shower and changing facilities are available before the afternoon return to San José.
