Rafting in Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a land dominated by mountains and has an abundance of water: annual rainfalls totals, reach as high as 350 inches in parts of the country and the Central Valley

is considered to be "dry" area because it receives "only" seventy to ninety inches of rain per year! The significance of this, is not so much that big whitewater is available, but that even small watersheds gather enough runoff to be able to paddle. More important, the flows for any particular month of the year are more reliable than those in North America. The reason for this reliability is the fact than the variability of precipitation is quite low throughout the humid tropic of Costa Rica. That's why rafting is so great in Costa Rica, not mentioning great biodiversity and lush rainforest!

The rugged terrain combined with the drainage network and the great volume of runoff provide more opportunities for whitewater paddling than any other area of comparable dimensions. Surely no other land contains as much whitewater per square miles as Costa Rica.

It's recommended, if you consider going to Costa Rica on your own, to hire a guide for at least your first trip on our rivers. It is simpler safer, cheaper, and far easier to take a rafting or kayaking tour with a licensed Costa Rican outfitter. They have the top-of-the-line boats, kayak and equipment and, more importantly, the experience and expertise to provide a great river trip. For a reasonable price they will provide equipment, guides, shuttles, and superb food.

White water rafting, from an ecotourism point of view, offers low-impact on the environment, access to the most remote and pristine rainforest, chance to see birds, animals and flora from a very unique point of view.

I am very interested in visiting Costa Rica! Especially I am fond of rafting and in general spending time close to water. I wonder what is the approximate price of a guided tour to Costa Rica? Searched for additional info at http://www.picktorrent.com , but only managed to find general info about the location. Thanks
