White Water Rafting Tour in Costa Rica

White Waters in Costa Rica

White Water Rafting is so great in the rivers of Costa Rica, sure, is necessary refer to the great biodiversity and lush rainforest, the reason for this reliability is the fact than the variability of precipitation is quite low throughout the humid tropic of Costa Rica.

Costa Rica is dominated by mountains and has an abundance of water: annual rainfalls totals, reach as high as 350 inches in parts of Costa rica and the Central Valley (San Jose City ) is considered to be "dry" area because it receives "only" seventy to ninety inches of rain per year! The significance of this, is not so much that big white water is available, but that even small watersheds gather enough runoff to be able to paddle. More important in white water rafting, the flows for any particular month of the year are more reliable than those in North America.

The rugged terrain in Costa Rica combined with the drainage network and the great volume of runoff provide more opportunities for white water paddling than any other area of comparable dimensions. Surely no other land contains as much white water per square miles as Costa Rica.

It is recommended to white water rafting, if you consider going to Costa Rica on your own, to hire a tour for at least your first trip on our rivers. It is simpler safer, cheaper, and far easier to take a rafting or kayaking tour with a licensed Costa Rican outfitter. They have the top-of-the-line boats, kayak and equipment and, more importantly, the experience and expertise to provide a great river trip. For a reasonable price they will provide equipment, guides, shuttles, and superb food.
