Costa Rica's steep landscape and abundant rainfall have together given rise to one of the best white water river selections in the world. About half a dozen unruly rivers are regularly run by experienced rafting outfitters, and those river trips not only offer plenty of thrill, they also pass some dazzling outlook. Not only do white water enthusiasts flock Costa Rica, including several Olympic kayaking teams, but every year thousands of visitors experience the thrill of rafting for the first time here. In fact almost all river trips offer chances to see a bit of the country's wildlife, such as iguanas, blue morph butterflies, parrots, otters, king fishers and herons.

The river routes obtainable to rafters range from the tumultuous waters of the lower Reventazon to the meandering curves of the Corobici. The most admired rafting trips offer a good mishmash of challenging rapids and calmer stretches where one can sit back and enjoy the passing scenery.
