Costa Rica Vacation Packages – Whitewater Rafting and Kayaking

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.

You’ve done it!  You’ve stood before a host of witnesses made up of your family and friends and you’ve pledged to spend the rest of your lives together.  Now, it’s time for the honeymoon.  Time to kick back and relax.  Time to set off on a week-long vacation where you do nothing but stare into each other’s eyes and have long discussions about where you see yourselves in ten years.

If that sounds terribly unappealing to you, you should really consider honeymoons in costa rica for your post-nuptial vacation.

Adventure Vacations in Costa Rica

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!

As promised in one of our last posts we are occasionally going to post reasons of why it makes sense to book a Costa Rica adventure through an outfitter based in the country year round.

Reason 2: The best local guides. Operating and living in Costa Rica gives us a unique take on the country. We know the best adventure guides in the business and we only have the best working with us.

On one of our Costa Rica guided tours you can expect to see the country with one of these amazing guides. Danny, Davies and Walter have all represented Costa Rica at the world rafting championships, Walter has also paddled for Costa Rica at the kayak slalom world cup in Spain, 2009 as well as currently competing in the national competitions.  He came 3rd last week in the first competition of the national championships.  Davies is currently competing in triathlons throughout the country and both he and Walter have started training again to represent Costa Rica at the next international rafting world cup.

This means that throughout your Costa Rica adventure you are in very safe, experienced and capable hands.

On top of their undoubted athletic ability our guides will help bring the country alive on your Costa Rica adventure. There knowledge of all things Costa Rican from culture, history, flora, fauna and much more are second to none. At the end of your Costa Rica guided tour with Costa Rica Rios you will know why you decided to have a guide accompany you on your vacation.
