 The
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. |
