Naranjo river whitewater rafting class III-IV
The Naranjo River flows down from the mountains of Costa Rica’s Central Pacific, carving its way through lush canyons surrounded by dense tropical forest. The drive to the starting point passes through the rural communities of Naranjito and Londres, where daily life still reflects the authentic rhythm of the Costa Rican countryside.
Upon arrival, our local guides provide a detailed safety briefing before getting ready to enter the water. The descent features Class III and IV rapids, offering a dynamic route that balances action, teamwork, and connection with nature.
Midway through the journey, the group pauses at a calm section of the river to enjoy fresh tropical fruits, take a swim, or simply appreciate the surrounding landscape. After finishing the run, we’ll visit a local home to share a traditional Costa Rican lunch, prepared with fresh ingredients and served with genuine hospitality.
