Our second adventure in Costa Rica was again led by our friends at Desafio. We had a long bus ride to the Rio Sarapiqui to begin our rafting tour, but it was totally worth it! The river rafting closer to our hotel only offered level 2-3 rapids, and Kent wanted a little more adventure (sensing a theme here?!), so he booked this tour, with level 3-4 rapids. The river was quite low on our visit, (apparently it is controlled by the Costa Rican government, who open and close the damns above this river to maximize flow...) so it turned out to be some very technical rafting! We even had to paddle upstream at one point to rescue some fellow tourists who were thrown from their raft, and stranded on a large rock. It was quite an adventure!

We had a long day on the river, and a long drive back to the Nayara, so we quickly showered and headed into La Fortuna for dinner. We chose an Italian restaurant called Anchi'o, and we were not disappointed! Our food was fantastic! Highly recommended if you ever find yourself in La Fortuna, Costa Rica!
