RIO SAVEGRE ONE DAY (CLASS II-III)
Considered one of the cleanest rivers in Central America; the Savegre is an authentic full day adventure: relaxation and pure action while enjoying the fantastic landscapes. Due to it's biodiversity, the Savegre River Valley is nowadays a center of interest for scientific research.
This adventure starts with an early Costa Rican breakfast (other options available) in town, and then we drive south of Quepos on our a/c minibus. It takes 1 ½ hours through African oil palms, Teak reforestation projects and incredible landscapes to the river put in.
 After a safety briefing we start maneuvering rapids like “Boca Diablo” and “Roller Coaster”. We stop for a short view of some amazing waterfalls and prepare a snack while you relax on the river shore. Before the end we hit the newly formed (as of 10/06) “Screaming Child” rapid and then the river tames down for a while until we meet with our mini bus. A five minute drive will take you to Silencio Lodge where a hot Costarican meal will be served on your table. After lunch is a 45 minute drive to Quepos.
