Pacuare Rafting 1 Day

Pacuare River rafting in Costa Rica is unbelievable.  The Pacuare River is the undisputed crown jewel of all the Costa Rican Rivers. National Geographic rated the Pacuare River one of the top three rafting rivers in the world.  The Pacuare River Gorge is home to literally thousands of exotic creatures such as sloth, monkeys, toucans, and the elusive jaguar. This lush paradise is accentuated by dozens of spectacular waterfalls crashing down hundreds of feet into the blue-green waters of the Pacuare. The Pacuare is invariably the highlight of any vacation to Costa Rica.

Itinerary – One Day Pacuare River Rafting 

Costa Rica RaftingDay 1 – Today you’ll wake early for a one-day Pacuare River rafting adventure. We will travel from Turrialba to the river put-in where we’ll descend through dense jungle into the heart of the Rio Pacuare gorge. On its way to the Caribbean Sea, the Pacuare plunges through some of Central America’s last untouched tropical rain forest.  Once you arrive at the River, your Professional Bilingual Guides will fit you into our top of the line safety equipment.

Prior to launching, the guides will do a comprehensive Rafting Safety Talk.  In between the class III and IV rapids you’ll gaze in wonder at the primordial forest and its wild inhabitants.  A few miles in, we’ll pull over to do a short but spectacular hike to one of the Canyon’s most beautiful Waterfalls.  The cool water in the pristine pool at the base of the falls  is a perfect and refreshing break from the warm tropical jungle.  Swim as long as you like or just relax and take in the incredible natural beauty around you.

After a few more River miles, we’ll pull over for a gourmet river lunch prepared by your trusty guides. Then, it’s back to work, we’ve got some more big rapids to conquer to the take out!
