The Pacuare River is one of the top five rafting rivers in
the world for its scenery and rapids. This quintessential
tropical river is a trip of pure magic, unsurpassed beauty,
wildlife and exhilarating rapids.
Located on Costa Rica's Atlantic slope, the Pacuare River
borders the Talamanca mountain range, home to native Cabecar
Indians and an incredible variety of wildlife.
After an early morning pickup from your San José hotel,
you will drive by private, comfortable bus to our Operations
Center for a delicious, typical Costa Rican breakfast. Once
at the river at our private put-in, you'll raft 16 miles deep
in the heart of densely vegetated gorges, past gushing waterfalls,
serene pools and pounding rapids, in one of Costa Rica's most
impressive primary rainforests. On the river you will raft
by Ríos Tropicales Lodge, where guests stay on two
and three-day trips. Intimate and charming, the lodge blends
naturally into the forest on our 1,000-acre private reserve,
with waterfalls and pools.
After an adrenaline-packed afternoon running rapids like Upper
and Lower Huacas, Cimarron, Dos Montanas and many more, after
we finish, a short drive to Ríos Tropicales Operations
Center for a hearty and delicious lunch, showers, optional
