Rafting is La Fortuna's classic adrenaline fix, and the Balsa River — fed by the Arenal watershed and wrapped in rainforest — is the perfect place for it. Choose your level:
The best-seller. Lively, splashy rapids with calm stretches in between to watch for wildlife on the banks. Ages 6 and up — perfect for families and first-timers who want real rapids without the fear factor. ~5 hours door to door.
The Balsa's upper section: bigger drops, faster water, more paddling — a proper adventure for travelers who want their heart rate up. Ages 12 and up. ~5 hours door to door.
