Costa Rica is world renowned for its pristine whitewater rivers and breathtaking flat-water wildlife paddling. Abundant rainfall, warm water, and a wide variety of rivers and eco-systems are what make Costa Rica's rainforest a paradise for paddlers. SOAR has created a great paddling and hiking adventure that features the best of Costa Rica's rainforests, national parks and beaches. Co-led by Costa Rican nauralist guides, this 11 day itinerary visits remote locales that are known for their exquisite flora and fauna.
