ADVENTURE

1 Conquer the rapids

osta Rica’s rivers swell during rainy season, so the best time to raft is from May to October. Rivers are graded; slow currents are classed as one or two, while six is the most challenging. Nervous? Then avoid ones with names like The Terminator (on Sarapiquí) or El Abismo (on Reventazón). Novices might want to try Peñas Blancas or Balsa, where you may spot herons, sloths and monkeys.
