COSTA RICA
RIO REVENTAZON
The best river for rafting, ranked as the 10th in the world in that respect. (In 1978, on that was made the first white water exploration of Costa Rica rivers). It flows out from the Cachi lake, cascades down the eastern slope of Cordillera Central to the Caribbean plains, and entered into river Parismina. It has been giving San Jose the access to the Caribbean for many centuries. At the distance from the Cachi dam to Turrialba bridge, 50.000 tourists rafts on every year. With that river is referred the legend "Sniveller", about a young girl, who threw her illegitimate child into the river (they say, her cry is heard till today). In 1543 Diego de Guttierez come to Costa Rica from Nicaragua through that river.
