Welcome!!!

Hello all expedition members! We are very excited that you have decided to join us on an expedition to Costa Rica this coming fall. As I'm sure you know, the country is renowned for its amazing landscape, biodiversity, and whitewater rivers (which is what I'm sure you're all most excited about). We created this blog so you could learn more about the conditions in Costa Rica, and about the rivers we will be exploring.

Specifically, we want to elaborate on the recent earthquake in Costa Rica. This geological event has significantly impacted our plans for paddling in the country, as reports are coming in which indicate that the Sarapiqui River has been greatly changed by the earthquake. We will be posting more information about that quake, its causes and effects, and its relevance to us in the coming days. Please stay tuned!
