White Water river rafting in Balsa River
- There are multiple agencies providing river rafting. We did it through Costa Rica Descents, and are extremely satisfied with the overall service. Here is a sneak peak of the event.
- Price: $65 per person (includes lunch, fruits, tour of their small farm)
- Time: 9 AM – 3 PM
- Check-in time: 9 AM at Costa Rica Descents main office in La Fortuna town
- What to expect here?
- Tour bus will take you to the starting point in River Balsa, which is approximately 1 hr from La Fortuna. We were lucky to see a sloth on our way.
- 2 hours of river rafting. The experience was incredible and amazing. After 1 hour, there is a short break to grab some delicious fruits. And then the rafting continues.
- After the rafting finishes, the tour bus will take you back to the main office. Lunch will be provided here.
- Drive to Monte Verde:
- Takes ~3 hrs from La Fortuna. Last 1 hr stretch is through a difficult road with many pot holes and gutters. It is recommended to do this stretch before it gets dark.
- Stay in Monte Verde for 2 nights
