Ríos Tropicales was created in 1985 to share the beauty and abundant white water of the rivers of Costa Rica with the rest of the world. Our commitment to high quality, safety and personable service have helped us become the premiere white water rafting and sea kayaking outfitter in Latin America. Ríos Tropicales has been recognized internationally for its efforts in conservation, reforestation and education of the local population.

The owners and guides have not only explored and developed rivers in Costa Rica, but also around the world. Authors of "The Rivers of Costa Rica" and proud expeditioners, our guides have experience unmatched by any other local company in Costa Rica. They have participated in Olympic games, and several rafting and kayaking World Championships.


Costa Rica offers some of the world's finest whitewater rafting and kayaking rivers. Wild and untamed, these big, brash rivers plunge through spectacularly beautiful, largely unexplored tropical wilderness. Enjoy with us our tropical rivers, whether an expert or beginner, nature lover or thrill seeker, rafting enthusiast or active kayaker, one of our expeditions is for you.
