Costa Rica`s mountainous topography and copiousrain fallare together responsible for one of the best white water river selections in the world and also is the perfect place for a first white water rafting experience, since it has several rivers that offer a combination of reasonable rapids like Pacuare River in the central valley, Rio Toro and Rio Balsa in the Arenal Volcano area. There are even rivers that are great for family excursions and birdwatching, since they lack big rapids and flow through forests full of birds and other animals.
