Costa Rica, as many have experienced, is a beautiful country. It seems to have almost everything - mountains, beaches, volcanoes, rain forests, waterfalls...and rivers. Tons of rivers. And, given the tropical climate, the flow of many of these rivers can vary from a slight trickle to devastating rapids.
As with many elements of nature, something beautiful can also be terribly destructive.
