Great Experience to do with Amigos Del Rio ! Would definitively recommend it !

We did rafting on the beautiful El Chorro. It was really a great experience in a beautiful canyon and river. Thanks to the whole team of Amigos Del Rio for their humour and professionalism, very attentive to the security. Jesus was our leader, great leader of the raft. Would definitively recommend it !

El Chorro, an experience to live. Good adrenaline!

Great experience on El Chorro. Beautiful setting and descent along the Naranjo, a canyon that opens to the end. Super friendly and competent guides, constant attention to the safety of all. Thank you to Jesus who was our boat captain. Strong sensations in the rapids. On top 👍

Can we do it again ?

outstanding tour guides Jeison Martinez took me and my 12 grand daughter under her wings when I told him she was a little nervous. All the tour guides were amazing, happy, extremely good at making sure we maintained our safety. We had a great photographer, pineapple and cookie snacks along the way. After the beautiful morning on the water, we headed back and all had an amazing Costa Rica meal that left us satisfied. Five Star review for this tour.

Just do it!

This was great! It was my first time and it was manageable. The rapids were not aggressive so I felt safe. Great place for beginners or first timers.
