rafting holiday
Copious rainfall has endowed Costa Rica with an abundance of rivers, but surprisingly, there are very few lakes.
Nearly all the country's rivers begin in the mountains, where many are frothy white water routes perfect for rafting and kayaking.
Once those rivers flow into the lowlands, however, they become languid waterways, many of which are lined with verdant walls of vegetation.
Those lowland rivers are excellent routes for trips in small boats, which allow passengers to observe some of the local flora and fauna.
The seasonal lake is also an excellent spot for wildlife watching, whereas larger Lake Arenal is a popular windsurfing spot.
A trip down one of Costa Rica's lowland rivers, either in a small boat or rubber raft, can be an excellent way to observe some of the country's extraordinary wildlife.
The trees that line most river banks may hold lounging iguanas, troops of monkeys and such birds as ospreys, anhingas, colorful kingfishers, several species of herons and tiny mangrove swallows.
Boat trips are offered on such lowland rivers as the Sarapiqui, San Carlos and Rio Frio, in the Northern Zone, and the Tempisque, Bebedero and Corobici, in the Northwest
This unique hike combines nature's beauty with a great opportunity to observe the wonderful flora and fauna.
The most popular lowland waterway trip heads up the Caribbean Canals, which run along the Atlantic coast north from the port of Moin to the communities of Parismina, Tortuguero, and Barra del Colorado.
Most travelers head to Tortuguero National Park, which protects an important sea turtle nesting beach and vast expanses of lowland rainforest and swampy yolillal palm forests.
A trip down any stretch of the canals is a true jungle adventure, offering opportunities to spot such animals as crocodiles, three-toed sloths, oropendolas and boat billed herons.
They also offer world-class fishing for tarpon, snook and other species.
