MANUEL ANTONIO EL CHORRO RAFTING TOUR
For adventurous travelers seeking an adrenaline rush in Manuel Antonio, embarking on the challenging whitewater rafting tour of "El Chorro" on Class IV rapids is an absolute must.
Located on the upper Naranjo River, "El Chorro" offers exhilarating Class IV whitewater rafting experiences.
A 45-minute drive from Manuel Antonio takes you to the entry point, where you'll receive a detailed safety briefing and have time to practice before your adventure begins. It's worth noting that this rafting tour is known as Dry Season Class IV, which can escalate to Class V during the dry season and may be inaccessible during the rainy season.
This thrilling ride demands top physical condition, catering to both experienced rafters and adventurous beginners alike. Starting from the top of the Quepos hill, you'll navigate through a breathtaking three-mile switchback route, winding through a narrow canyon. Prepare to encounter narrow passages, sharp turns flanked by imposing rocks, and sudden drops into the abyss.
Loosely translating to "jet gorge," "El Chorro" earned its name from the way the powerful water propels the raft through the gorge. Throughout the journey, you'll tackle drops, steep rapids, and challenging bends, with your guide skillfully maneuvering through the rugged terrain. Brace yourself for an adrenaline-pumping adventure that's not for the faint of heart.
