Default Re: Nearest Forest From San Jose

What features are you looking for in a river? there are many national forests in Costa Rica with rivers each has is unique features. Monteverde is a cloud forest and its a pretty long driver. You might consider Sarapiqui river only 2 hours away from San José and La Fortuna. Access to Sarapiquí is through the Braulio Carrillo National Park, one of the few tropical rainforests in the world. Another place would be the Río Pacuare Forest that has one of the most popular river rafting rivers within it.

If you do go to Monteverde check out the Peñas Blancas river one the cleanest and most pristine rivers in the country.
