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.
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
drinks and souvenir store. On the return drive to San José, you'll enjoy
remarkable views of Braulio Carrillo National Park and Irazú Volcano.
This unforgettable trip will easily be a highlight of your stay in Costa Rica!
Pacuare is considered the most beautiful rafting river in Costa
Rica. It offers you the great excitement of a class IV river and the mystic
experience of an almost pristine rainforest around it! If you want to have a
lot of excitement this is your tour. Normally, rafting experience is required
for this tour, but if you are athletic you will certainly manage. The rafting
ride is about 2 ½ hours on the river. Same procedure as on the Reventazon
River, and you will be arriving back in San Jose around 5:00 or 6:00 p.m.
Includes breakfast and lunch.
Wear shorts or swimsuit, t-shirt for the raft ride, sandals or sneakers, strap
for your eyeglasses. Bring sunblock, swimming suit or shorts, mosquito repellent,
a towel and one change of clothes.
