This part of Costa Rica is home to the breathtaking Parque Nacional Corcovado along with many beautiful remote beaches and superb wildlife. Not easily accessible by road, getting to South Puntarenas is well worth the trip to see this undiscovered part of the country, where nature is at its most pristine.

Whereto Go

To try whitewater rafting in South Puntarenas, your best bet would be to find a tour operator in Drake Bay, which is the most developed town in the area.

When looking for a whitewater rafting company, remember to look for an experienced outfit and always ask for recommendations.
