Whitewater Rafting Rivers in Costa Rica

The Pacuare River is a river of Costa Rica, belonging to the Atlantic slope. With a length of 133 km, it is born in the Cuericí hills in the Talamanca mountain range, at 3000 masl, and it descends through the mountains to the plains of the Central Caribbean, in the province of Limón, and empties into the Caribbean Sea, between Boca del Parismina and the Urpiano lagoon, near the Matina River. The Surú, Peje and Piedras Blancas rivers are among its tributaries. Due to the exuberance of the vegetation that surrounds it, and the numerous rapids it forms during its descent towards the Caribbean plains, suitable for rafting, the Pacuare is an important tourist attraction of Costa Rica. The Pacuare basin has been protected by the Matina Pacuare Forest Reserve.
