After a safety talk by one of our professional bilingual guides we will start running continuous class III and IV rapids on the Division river, the main tributary to the Savegre river, one of the most pristine rivers in the country surrounded by impressive views of primary forest.

Here we will be hosted by the south African family that runs the place, sleep in luxury safari tents with private baths, fire heated hot water showers and a swimming pool with a waterslide.
