1 Day Pacuare Rafting tour

We Provide Best Adventure

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

We will have to meet our customers at 8:00 a.m. at Finca Tres Equis in Turrialba.

Today you’ll wake early for a one-day white water rafting adventure on the Rio Pacuare for guest staying at the Lodge. For clients meeting us for our one day rafting trip we will meet you at Finca Tres Equis between Siquirres and Turrialba on hightway 10. At 8:00 a.m. SHARP. From here we will descend in to heart of the Pacuare Gorge to our private river front Lodge and river put-in.

On its way to the Caribbean 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. Then, 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. Then 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!
