Tour Description
This is one of the best tours in Manuel Antonio. Combine adventure, adrenaline and breathtaking scenery, only 30 minutes from Manuel Antonio National Park, the Naranjo River offers an exhilarating, exploding section of white water.
The section we run goes from the town of Villanueva in the mountains to the Llamarón Bridge on the road from Quepos to Dominical for a total of 7miles. This is a full action tour, if water levels are low it is a technical Class III section and as water levels increase so does the adventures. Good water levels are expected from June to November. December through April a slow technical run should be expected.
Since we start, we will run rapids like “La Piñata” and “Robin Hood” before the famous "Puente de Londres". Soon after, other rapids like "Cara de Indio" and "El Espavel" will keep us up and paddling. On the last section, the river opens up on the Pacific flatlands giving us the opportunity to enjoy the view and see many species of birds like the Ringed King Fisher and the White Ibis.
