Wildlife is abundant, so you may encounter sloths, toucans, parrots, coatis, butterflies, and colorful frogs during your 4-hour descent. Feel the excitement as the whitewater rapids crash upon your raft as you descend down the river featuring 38 rapids along an 18-mi/30-km stretch, making it a most memorable trip.

Enjoy a stop for a buffet-style lunch at the most beautiful beach along the river. Afterward, continue on the raft downstream and finish in Siquirres at the private Exploration Center.
