Arrival by River
This
exciting outdoor adventure begins when you are picked up at your
San José hotel in a comfortable minibus and transported through
the old capital city of Cartago and the lush green farmlands blanketing
the slopes of the Irazú and Turrialba volcanoes. Before arriving
at the banks of the Pacuare River, youll stop to enjoy an authentic
Costa Rican breakfast. After arriving at the river, our expert guides
will explain safety precautions and provide you with the necessary
rafting gear before the rafting adventure begins. Once in the water,
youll experience sheer exhilaration as you face the challenge of
each huge wave, battling surging waters down miles of raging rapids.
In this first day on the river, a journey that takes just over an
hour and a half, the river passes through scenic canyons where crystal
clear waterfalls plummet down into the rapidly coursing river below.
Tall trees and dense green vegetation come right down to the waters
edge. The thick undergrowth of this protected area provides shelter
for a variety tropical animals and birds, including some endangered
species. As you round the bend, youll spy the indigenous-style facilities
of the Pacuare Lodge. Here youll disembark from your raft and walk
up the gently rising steps to the main lodge.

“What an exhilarating experience! Although I was actually quite scared of rafting the Pacuare, our guide was so reassuring and instructive that I found myself thoroughly enjoying the ride! The meals were delicious, the bungalow clean and charming, and the setting – like paradise. All the staff was friendly and helpful. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.”
