For the adventuresome beginner and experienced rafter, the Class II and III rapids will have you filled with adrenaline as you paddle hard over the waves. Along the way, you will be astounded by the awesome canyons, waterfalls, and primary rainforest of Costa Rica. The Savegre River is a magnificent stretch of whitewater that begins its course by winding out of a sparsely inhabited valley in the mountains.
At the lower Savegre, the whitewater rapids are exciting, but not so demanding that you won’t have time to enjoy the spectacular tropical scenery. This is one of the most pristine rivers in Central America and is surrounded by impressive views of the primary rainforest. Lurking just behind the shroud of lush foliage, you will find a number of truly magnificent waterfalls of the Savegre’s tributaries.
