Savegre Rafting & Cultural Experience
Enjoy a private full-day journey that blends nature, adventure, and local culture along the stunning Savegre River, known as one of the cleanest rivers in Central America.
The day begins with a refreshing welcome drink at a cozy riverside lodge, followed by a guided walk through hidden jungle trails where you’ll spot exotic birds, wild plants, and small hidden waterfalls surrounded by lush tropical scenery.
Next, get ready for an exciting rafting adventure (class II–III) through the heart of the rainforest. Midway, we’ll stop at Quebrada Arroyado, a secret waterfall and true hidden gem — the perfect place to relax, swim, and enjoy nature’s beauty.
To end the day, you’ll be welcomed into a local home for a traditional Costa Rican lunch, freshly prepared and shared in a warm, family-style setting.
