White Water Rafting
Just a short drive from the capital San Jose, Alajuela is a lush and verdant region blessed with beautiful weather. Easily accessible from the Juan Santamaria International Airport, you can arrive in Alajuela directly from the airport as well. National parks, active volcanoes, coffee plantations and hot springs dot the landscape here, making Alajuela a wonderful region to discover. A wonderful place to use as a base, the region of Alajuela has plenty of hotels, lodges, rustic inns and accommodations to stay at.

While the most famous attraction of Alajuela has to be the Arenal Volcano and its national park, this province also offers tourists plenty of sightseeing and activities to enjoy. Whitewater rafting in Alajuela is a popular activity, with this region home to a number of rivers that in turn help keep Alajuela rich and fertile. The Rio Toro provides some superb whitewater rafting opportunities for both experienced and novice rafters. Rated a Class II –IV river, the Rio Toro offers more than 45 rapids, all the while treating you to some wonderful vistas along the way. You can spot a number of wildlife species as you move down the river, from a variety of monkeys to the many different birds that live in the tress along the riverbanks. Fast paced and exciting, whitewater rafting in Alajuela is a must-try as you tour the province.

When looking for a whitewater rafting operator in Alajuela, be sure to check out their credentials first and always ask for customer references. Always wear the safety gear provided to you, such as a life jacket and helmet and be sure to wear light clothing. Also, remember to ask for a bilingual tour guide for your trip so that you know what’s going on around you. There are a number of whitewater rafting tour operators in Alajuela city and around the Arenal area and La Fortuna de San Carlos.

Most whitewater rafting companies offer lunch as well as free pick and drop services to and from your hotel. You can either plan a day trip, or if you like, multi-day tours are also on hand. Knowing how to swim is a prerequisite to going whitewater rafting.
