Our bags are packed, reservations are reconfirmed, and we are finally just hours away from beginning our trip! Checking the weather it looks like we are in for temperatures in the upper 80's, lots of rain, and high humidity for our time in Costa Rica. All we can say to that is raft-o-rama baby. You can't get any wetter when you are running Class IV white-water through rain-forest canyons. Found this map that makes for a perfect reference for our time in Central America. After a day in Costa Rica's capital city San Jose we head down the Pacuare River with two nights at the lodge. After another night in San Jose we head down the Reventazon, said to be the most difficult commercially run stretch of water in Costa Rica. At the take out we will then head south down the Caribbean coast to Puerto Viejo for a couple of days before crossing the boarder into Panama and then heading on to the islands of Bocas del Toro. A Nature Air flight will then transfer us over to Manuel Antonio on the Pacific coast. After another raft trip on the Savegre River and day in C.R.'s most famous national park, we head down to Dominical for a week relaxing at the beach and surfing. Then it is back to San Jose and on to Ecuador. That's our plan...wish us luck...we'll do our best to keep you updated.
