I just love this country

I’ve been on the road for 3 months now, to the day, and what a way of celebrating it: a day-long rafting in river Pacuare. Very serious fun. Amazing. This thing can be seriously addictive. I just need somehow to keep doing this kind of stuff once back home.

The river Pacuare flows towards the Caribbean coast and its margins are populated by the beautiful rain forest that characterises this side of Costa Rica. Big cliffs, waterfalls flowing into the canyon – just beautiful.

A 30km ride, with 40 rapids along the way.

I just love this country. It has so much to offer. Of the kind of stuff I’m looking for…
















The (animated) view from the raft. Sorry: you’ll have to turn your head to watch this one… (note: thanks to Miguel, a fellow rafter, whose water-proof camera made this video possible)
