This past Monday, I went on an all-day adventure trip. After meeting the tour operator Authentic Adventure Eco Tours in San Josí and waiting for quite some time, we eventually boarded the tricked-out Land Rovers and headed out of town. The first part of the trip, which was spend in the Land Rover, consisted of driving through Alajuela to Grecia and Sarchi, stopping first for the towns all-steel church and second for Sarchi

Even though I’ve been traveling the country for almost eight years now, I’ve never been there. There is something relaxing about exploring Costa Rica’s countryside, where the urban chaos and stress seem more foreign around every bend in the gravel road.

After checking out some of the countryside, we’ll head to Sarapiqui at Pozo Azul for a chance to raft the class-III Sarapiqui River. Whitewater rafting is one of my favorite activities in Costa Rica: you travel through dense tropical rainforests along pristine, rushing waterways amid perfect temperatures and just enough action to get any adrenaline junky’s mojo working.

I haven’t personally been to the Sarapiqui River this year, so I’m eager to check out how the flow has changed since the Cinchona earthquake this past January.

Check back for a full report.
