Rio Tenorio
This river totally rocks -- and it is not for the meek and mild. Four-man rafts and 6-8 ft drops make it even more challenging to stay in the raft. Please remember that everyone paddles.
The Tenorio River in Costa Rica rises near the Tenorio Volcano where it becomes a fast moving river, with 15 miles of rapids popular for white-water rafting, then flows to join the Corobicí River, the best river in the area for wildlife observation.
You are picked up at your hotel after breakfast in one of our private air-conditioned vehicles. It takes around one hour for this scenic drive. We go directly to the Corobici River. Here we meet up with the rafting operators and head for the Tenorio River. For larger groups where we use our 24-passenger Coaster buses we will go directly to the launching point that is a half hour from the rafting operation's base camp.

At the end of the tour, guides will carry the gear up the banks and once loaded you will return to a restaurant overlooking the beautiful Corobici River and enjoy a typical lunch and local fruit beverage. Beer, sodas, and alcoholic beverages are available, but not included.
