This river has been declared a Wild and Scenic River, and offers some of the finest
white water in Latin America, providing the adventurous rafter with a ride of
unbelievable natural beauty as it winds deep inside one of Costa Rica's most
impressive primordial rainforests. You will traverse 20 miles of remote and
scenic waters that course through a wilderness of dense vegetation covering the
sides of steep gorges that rise above the river banks. The thick undergrowth
provides shelter for jaguars, ocelots, monkeys, sloths, and numerous other
species of animals and birds. You'll break for a delicious lunch served along
the river's edge by your bi-lingual guides. While lunch is being prepared,
you'll have plenty of time to relax and enjoy the spectacular scenery as you
marvel at the raw, pounding power of the untamed Pacuare River that for millions
of years has coursed through this virgin tropical rainforest. If you're ready
for a very exciting day filled with wet and wonderful fun, the Pacuare is ready
for you! Rafters should be physically fit for this trip, although no previous
white-water experience is necessary. Includes safety kayaker. Breakfast is
served en-route to the river. You can also fly by helicopter to the river put
in, with the possibility of adding the Pacuare Canopy Adventure to your day's
activities. Duration: 10 hours (approximate river time is 4 hours
depending on flow of the river) $118.00 per person - minimum age 12
years old.
