RIO REVENTAZÓN (Florida Section Class III)
 
Florida Section - Class III
This section of the mighty Reventazón River has some of the fastest and best 10 miles of Class III rapids you’ll ever paddle!  Whether it's you’re first-time or you're an experienced paddler looking for the excitement of big waves, hydraulics, and stunning scenery, then this trip is for you.

The drive from San Jose is an adventure in itself, as it takes you through the impressive Braulio Carrillo National Park, past rainforests and waterfalls across the Continental Divide over to the Caribbean side of the country. Once you reach your destination, you will have breakfast and there are bathrooms, changing rooms and an area to buy last minute needs.

After your safety orientation, the first rapid of the day will set the pace for more to come. As your raft rounds each new bend in this dam-controlled river, you’ll be greeted with yet another breathtaking view of the Reventazón Valley. Look for toucans, kingfishers, herons, tanagers, iguanas and bright green “Jesus Christ” lizards.
 
After a fun and exhilarating day of big waves, hydraulics and stunning scenery, you’ll finish your trip with a stop at the Operations Center for a delicious hot lunch, showers, optional drinks and the souvenir store before your return drive to San José. This one-day adventure is unforgettable!
