Looking for an exciting vacation that will provide thrilling adventure, breathtaking scenery, and exotic flora and fauna? Look no further than Costa Rica Rios and our many costa rica vacation packages. Our whitewater rafting or kayaking packages provide all of the memorable thrills of a lifetime. And they can be customized to your interests and ability levels.

The rivers we run in Costa Rica rise out of the mountain spine that divides the Atlantic watershed from the Pacific watershed. The Rio Sarapiqui rises out of the highlands on the eastern side of the cloud forests that are also home to Poas Volcano. The Rio Pejibaye and Pacuare River have headwaters out of the Talamanca Mountains. Each river has a distinctive nature, but all provide exciting whitewater and scenery.

The trade winds from the west bring copious amounts of rain down on the mountains as the moisture carried by the winds hits the colder air in the higher elevations. This abundance of moisture also provides unique ecosystems such as the cloud forests with their huge diversity of plant and animal life. When you travel the rivers, it’s not unusual to see anteaters, sloths, iguanas and capuchin monkeys along the way. Birds of all kinds, including the colorful toucan, parakeets, ospry, hawks, and blue herons, are as entertaining as the whitewater. The distractions of the scenery and wildlife can almost make you forget the adventure you came to experience.

The culture, people and cuisine of Costa Rica are also part of the draw. Our experienced guides always have your comfort and safety in mind. While you experience the adventure, our crew will create meals you will remember and your lodgings will always be comfortable and luxurious. The people you meet are the heart of Costa Rica and their charm and character will warm your memories forever.

When you’re ready to create the adventure of your dreams, contact us for more information and any personalization of your plans for the trip. We will make your kayak tour of Costa Rican rivers the best adventure travel you will ever experience.

Perhaps it feels like you’ve been taking the same kind of vacation all your life. Your family has always vacationed at that same cabin by the lake. As a kid, it was great to sit and listen to grandpa’s fish stories, while you yourself caught nothing, but now you really would be happy not to ever pick up a fishing pole again. Sure, the canoe was fun when you were 6 years old, but over the years it’s lost its charm, and now you just aren’t interested in the same old experience. Now, watching your children fish and canoe, you realize that you want them to have more variety in their vacation experiences. You’re not sure where to begin, but you know that you are ready to try something new for your next vacation.

We suggest that you start with us. Since you’re moving outside your comfort zone, we invite you and your family to join one of our Costa Rica guided tours.

Thoroughly and professionally planned with your particular interests in mind, we can create a week that safely and enjoyably expands your family’s horizons. Instead of fishing in the lake, we’ll take your family snorkeling, where you will see tropical fish in shapes and colors you never could have imagined. Instead of lazily paddling your canoe around a lake, we’ll go sea kayaking or whitewater rafting, giving you a chance to improve upon those basic skills in thrilling new surroundings. Instead of watching the deer and raccoons around your family’s cabin, we’ll take you zip lining across the forest canopy, where you will be surrounded by an amazing assortment of wildlife, with brightly-colored birds, raucous monkeys, and sloths as motionless as you used to be on that old cabin’s dock. Even our bicycles will take you to new places, filled with tropical sights, sounds and smells that you never could have imagined.

So this year, take a break from the family cabin and explore the tropics with Costa Rica Rios. Contact us and we promise you an adventure that will set a new standard for your family’s vacations!

With the holiday season upon us our thoughts are consumed by Christmas here in Costa Rica! Being a very catholic country, Christmas is a huge deal and the shops have had Christmas stuff for sale since September. As for most major events in the annual calendar it’s the community that makes them a big success. On Sunday night there was the Christmas Light Parade and the whole community turned out to watch. This also included the people from all the small towns we pass through on our Week of Adventures guided vacations. The lights were bright and the drums loud and the parade lasted several hours. All types of businesses and schools participated in floats and displays, big and small. The smallest was a large white dog dressed in Santa garb and the biggest were on Big Mac style trucks. Rawlings baseball factory had made a giant baseball glove and ball and a truck-sized sewing machine. The people on the float threw balls into the 10’s of 1000’s of people lining the streets.To finish the night there was music and fireworks. The couple here on their Costa Rica adventure honeymoon got to witness this amazing display of local culture first hand. Everyone went home with a Christmas glow and hope for good things in the New Year.

Adventure Vacations in Costa Rica

Leave a comment

Sometimes its the little things that make a journey to a foreign land an adventure.  On our Costa Rica guided tours you may see people riding a bike while towing a horse, yes, I know it sounds weird.  Sometimes the horse gets its exercise by being tied to a car or truck and towed along the roads that way.

The people you meet during your Costa Rica adventure vacation are as interesting and varied as life itself.  The locals can be chocolate farmers (sounds better than cocoa farmers and the end result is the same!), artists, cleaners, teachers and anything in between, and your fellow adventurers may be factory workers, lobbyists, CEOs, doctors, teachers, dancers, trapeze artists (true, we have had one of those), athletes, singers, retirees or teenagers.  No two Costa Rica adventures are every exactly the same.

Taking part in one of our Costa Rica adventure tours is not just about seeing the country. We will also offer information on all aspects of Costa Rican life so when you leave us at the end of your amazing guided tour you will have a real sense of what life is all about in Costa Rica.

We all feel lucky to live in such an amazing country. Come and explore it with us!
