What to expect.

Follow the Sarapiqui River from La Virgen toward Chilamate, where lively rapids alternate with quieter pools beneath the rainforest canopy. Your guides lead the way through the Class II–III section, sharing the river's scenery and pointing out birds along its banks.

The descent takes approximately two and a half to three hours, with a riverside pause for tropical fruit. Between the rapids, enjoy a different view of Sarapiqui's forest from the water.
