5.00This is our 2nd time taking this trip (first time in low water season, now in high) and it was absolutely incredible. Our guide, Luis, was fabulous- a total pro who made us comfortable (even our nervous kiddo) and navigated us through some huge rapids with ease! It’s absolutely beautiful jungle and the rapids are super fun. Will do again!
Tenorio river super fun!!!
