Savegre Whitewater Rafting Tour Class II – III

An Unforgettable Adventure in the Heart of Costa Rica’s Nature

The Savegre River, recognized by UNESCO as one of the cleanest and most scenic rivers in Costa Rica and all of Central America, offers a rafting experience that perfectly blends adventure, serenity, and a deep connection with the tropical forest.

Designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the Savegre watershed is a model of sustainable development, protecting extraordinary biodiversity—it is home to 20% of Costa Rica’s plant species, 54% of its mammals, and 59% of its birds.

Thanks to the dedication of local communities to conservation, the Savegre River remains a pristine natural treasure and a shining example of eco-sustainability in Costa Rica.

Featuring Class II–III rapids, this tour is ideal for families, beginners, and nature lovers seeking a fun, safe, and scenic adventure. Along the route, you’ll enjoy lush jungle views, calm sections perfect for floating and swimming, and a refreshing stop at a natural waterfall, where you can relax and take in the beauty of the forest.

Unlike other rivers in Costa Rica that depend on hydroelectric dam releases—especially during the dry season—the Savegre offers natural, free-flowing water year-round, making it a top choice during the summer months.

At Roots2River, every generation finds their perfect adventure!
