Reventazón RiverThe Reventazón (reh vehn tah SOHN) gathers its waters from the rugged core of the Cordillera de Talamanca. Some of the upper tributaries drain the wettest parts of the country. By the time they have gathered enough volume to float a boat but have lost enough gradient so as not to destroy one, the river still is at an elevation of almost 4800 feet (1450 m). Whitewater can be found on the Reventazón all the way to Siquirres, at an elevation of 150 feet (45 m). The entire reach of runnable whitewater is 60 miles (100 km) long, rivaling the length of the General. Unlike the General, there are many points of access along the way, enabling paddlers to choose from a wide variety of day trips.
