For the past moments in Costa Rica's history, nature has played its part in shaping the country to what it is now. Throughout the years, the unique weather pattern was the one responsible in creating twists and bumps, thus resulting to challenging, edgy landscapes that are perfect for white water rafting.
Why conquer the rapids?
Rafting in Costa Rica will definitely give you a fresh experience. The rapids are challenges, and in order to move forward, one must conquer them. First and foremost, water rafting teaches significant values to those who tries it--the value of trust, determination, and focus. Second, this experience can offer a sense of satisfaction and achievement to individuals who are fond of engaging in it and to those who are afraid with rafting as well. If you are one of those who are natural thrill-seekers, then it is another challenge for you, and if you're this person who haven't tried it yet, then, consider it worth trying.
Consider white water rafting near Arenal as you hop from one place to another venturing Costa Rica attractions. The rapids remain awesome all throughout the year and will never fail to give you the adrenaline rush or probably, relaxation that you're seeking. Both the weather and the landscape go well together for a perfect rafting adventure. Adding to this given beauty is the waters' route as it pass through valleys, fields, and rainforests that allows rafters to enjoy even the scenic view of the sorroundings alongside an extreme ride. Here you'll get to have three options, or probably you'll dare to try everything. Each one has its own style that will definitely suit people's varying preferences regarding adventure. What's good is that this variation of the three river options gives individuals of any age an opportunity to battle the rapids near the Arenal Volcano.
1. Peñas Blancas River. This first option is suited for first-time or young rafters who wants a ride over steady and mellow river. This water passes through the Tilaran Mountain Range then fuses to the San Carlos River which is situated beside the Arenal Volcano. Since it was a steady float over moving water, the journey is perfect for wildlife watching, including birds of different species, reptiles, and mammals that lives in the nearby landscape. What's great about this trip is that your guide will not just assure your safety along the ride but will also teach you about Costa Rica rainforest's 'must knows'.
2. Balsa River. If someone is looking for a more challenging style of rapids but not the too intense ones, then, he must try riding through Balsa River. There are mellow points accompanied with some stirring routes that will sometimes tickle your nerves. Just like the first river, you'll also have the chance to spot wildlife and enjoy the picturesque view of the rainforests, but expect to get wet upon approaching the end of this river with Class II and III rapids. The trip will then unload you at San Carlos bridge where you can relax while swimming and enjoying your snacks.
3. El Rio Toro-The Bull River. As the name connotes, this last but definitely not the least option is the most exhilarating between the three. Classified as having Class II to Class IV rapids, most rafters described it as having one of Costa Rica's best rafting experience. The waters start at Poas Volcano then through the rainforests with big waves and technical rapids as waters from streams continuously runs into the river. This trip will definitely impose an extreme challenge even to those experienced rafters, but there's nothing to fear about for rafting guides are stiff in explaining and reminding every tourist of all the safety rules and reminders before jumping into the boat.
