One of the country's most pristine rivers, the Rio Savegre is a magnificent stretch of coastal whitewater, surrounded by lush primary rainforest, waterfalls, and canyons.
White water rafting on this river is perfect for beginners and families, as the class II through IV rapids provide a winning combination of adventure and excitement, while calmer stretches allow you the opportunity to appreciate the spectacular scenery and view wildlife - the forest around this river is home to many tropical birds, including egrets, osprey, toucans, parrots, kingfishers, and cormorants.
Midway through the trip, you will stop for refreshments, which are enjoyed at a cascading waterfall and natural swimming hole, located just off the river bank.
After tackling the rapids your appetite will be satisfied by a traditional Costa Rican lunch, eaten in the little village of "Silencio' before enjoying a comfortable drive back to Manuel Antonio.
