Río Balsa Whitewater Rafting (Class V)
Difficult rapids through warm jungle canyon with volcano views.
The Río Balsa at its most demanding — Class V whitewater for experienced rafters only. Expect steep, technical drops, powerful hydraulics, and near-continuous rapids that demand real paddling strength, fitness, and the ability to follow commands instantly under pressure. Run with expert guides who know every line, in the same warm jungle canyon beneath Arenal. This is a serious adventure, not a first-timer's float — prior whitewater experience is strongly recommended. Bring a change of clothes; you will get soaked.
