It is certain to be a highlight of your stay in Costa Rica. The Pacuare River is one of the top five rafting rivers in the world for its scenery and rapids. This tropical river is a trip of pure magic, unsurpassed beauty, wildlife and exhilarating rapids.

You'll depart San José early in the morning, heading towards the Caribbean and crossing the amazing Braulio Carrillo National Park. You will arrive at our Rios Tropicales Operations Center in time for breakfast, clothing changes or last minute needs. Once ready you will be taken to our private putt-in in San Martin, your friendly and professional guides will load your gear into dry bags, prepare the equipment and give you complete safety and paddle instruction. The first day's Class III rapids welcome you to the Pacuare gorge's charm as you raft deep in the heart of primary rainforest. While your guides prepare you a hearty picnic lunch on the riverbank, you'll be led through the jungle to an enchanting waterfall and pool to swim. Before you know it, you'll arrive at the award-winning Ríos Tropicales
Lodge where you can spend the afternoon relaxing, hiking or soaking in our waterfall
and pools. Enjoy our Canopy at no additional cost! Nestled in the jungle on
our 1,000-acre private reserve, the lodge offers you all the comforts you need
in "Cabecar Indian" style bungalows. Private single and double rooms
are spacious with clean linen, and there are modern bathrooms and showers. Electricity
is generated by a self-sufficient hydro-plant. Happy Hour will put you in the
mood for a tropical evening, followed by a luscious candlelight dinner with
wine served by your guides.
Don't worry about wake-up time. The beauty of the light through the forest,
the sound of toucans and the smell of coffee will get you going. This day is
designed to enjoy the lodge surroundings. You can choose a variety of hikes
- a 4-5 hour hike high into the Pacuare Reserve; a 2-3 hour hike to nearby waterfalls
and pools, or short walks near the lodge - or just relax in a hammock and enjoy
nature. Experience a side of the Pacuare few people know!
After a hearty breakfast and loading the rafts, you'll prepare to paddle down
the Pacuare gorge past gushing waterfalls, serene pools and pounding rapids.
A snack stop by the riverside lets you explore more waterfalls and natural waterslides.

Dos Montañas and many more, will have you cheering ecstatically. Hot
lunch will be served at our New Ríos Tropicales Operations Center. Showers,
