Rafting!

Last Sunday, Lupe, Rafa, and I went rafting! There are many places to go rafting in Costa Rica, but we decided to go to the Pacuare River, which is located in Cartago, and close to Limon. We were in the water for 4 hours straight! It is defiantly something a lot of tourists do because we saw a lot of foreigners, and I understand why because it is an adventure! We started off at around 10, went through rapids, swam in the water, and almost fell off a couple of times! Then we had lunch, and continued our trip through the mountains, and through the Telemaca, which is one of the most inhibited places in Costa Rica that are home to indigenous people. There they live without electricity, and live a simple life-style.
Our trip went by pretty fast, we had an awesome guide, and he let us do a lot of fun stuff. The rapids weren't that bad, because we went in the time were there wasn't a lot of water. If you want to go rafting, I would personally suggest going around June, July, August. That is when it rains a lot, which means there is more water and more rapids. But, besides that, we had a blast. One of the coolest things that we did was something called "surf". Once we went down a small waterfall/rapid, we would paddle back to it, and be pushed away by the water-that was honestly one of the funniest things! I can't describe the 4 hour trip, but I would highly recommend going rafting one day. It doesn't have to be in Costa Rica, but it is something that will be worthwhile  I know I want to do it again, or try kayaking or something else to that extent.
