The Peralta section on the Reventazón River is a big-whitewater run in Costa Rica. The legendary Peralta played host to the world whitewater rafting championship in 1998. Unfortunately the Costa Rican power monopoly, ICE, decided the popularity contest in early 2000 by damming the river and diverting water around the top half of this run. If you hope to run the Peralta section, you are going to need a big of luck. Your best change comes at the peak of the rainy season when heavy rain fill Angostura Lake to capacity and force the power company to make sporadic releases into the dry riverbed. The Peralta section on the Reventazón River is one of the most exciting whitewater trips in Costa Rica. There are many play spots and very continuous class IV and V rapids. Experienced rafters will experience all these thrilling big whitewater rapids and the beautiful scenery. We provide lunch on the river and we stop for a river hike to a beautiful waterfall.
Our whitewater rafting trip include: Transport from San José - Cartago - Turrialba. Breakfast is included only for those who are coming from San José. Lunch is provided on the river for everyone. Top of the line river gear, only experienced guides, and a private photographer ready to capture the awesome natural beauty and the amazing collection of memories for you to take home.
