Reventazón River: Pascua Section (Class IV)

After paddling the Pascua section of the Reventazón River, adventurers agree that these are the best rapids they have conquered. Pascua is a classic big water run, guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat, literally! Amongst the fifteen solid class IV rapids you will run are: Dirty Mind, The Abyss, Indigestion and Horrendito. Includes transport to/from Puerto Viejo from/to San Jose or Arenal if you want.

A great big water run, with moderate difficulty. The lush surroundings, abundant bird life and good amount of fun rapids makes this a great introduction to river running. This run is clearly divided in two halves. The first hour is very exciting, with big waves and long rapids. The second half is more relaxed as the river enters the true lower Caribbean, the surroundings take on a jungle character and the wildlife is more plentiful. Includes transport to/from Puerto Viejo from/to San Jose or Arenal if you want.
