Reventazon River Description

(Local Name: Río Reventazón) The Reventazón River is one of the most scenic and exciting rivers in Costa Rica, some areas offering Class III and IV white water. The river flows from the (artificial) Cachí Lake at 1,000m/3,280ft above sea level down throughout the eastern mountain slopes to the Caribbean lowlands.

This river is a favorite among rafters and kayakers. Apart from the white water sections, there are other flat and placid sections perfect for beginners. The river receives a lot of rainfall so the river can be run year round, however the best months are June and July.

Hobbies & Activities category: River rafting, canoeing, kayaking
