This one day excursion begins with an early morning pick up from your San Jose hotel. We will depart and shortly after stop for a lovely typical breakfast and then continue on to Tres Equis where we may have to switch to a 4x4 (depending on road conditions) which will take us down to the "put in' spot on the river.

Before our river departure your knowledgeable bilingual guide will be sure to explain all safety instructions. We will then proceed down this picturesque river and have lunch on a riverbank, where you can take in the warm tropical sun and just relax before heading out for the last stretch of the trip. The total river time is around five hours with a "take out' time around mid afternoon. Awaiting you at the take out point will be your shuttle back to San Jose.

Important: Note that the minimum age to parcipate in this tour is 14 years old. No pregnant women are allowed on this tour.
