Day 1: Pacuare River Rafting

  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch
A visit to Costa Rica isn't complete without experiencing rafting down the Pacuare River. The Pacuare is famous for its scenic views and its class III-IV whitewater rapids. The river and the Pacuare Protected Zone are located between the Caribbean coastal lowlands and the country's highest mountain range. This pristine jungle region, considered one of the most important protected areas in Central America, is still inhabited by indigenous Cabecar communities. Your rafting trip begins with an early traditional Costa Rica breakfast, followed by a briefing on safety measures. Then we splash right into our incredible rafting journey. We plunge through mountain gorges, run long stretches of powerful rapids, and weave our way through a rainforest alive with howler monkeys, toucans, sloths, and ocelots. A satisfying lunch of sandwiches, fruit, and juice will be served along the edge of the river. While the guides prepare the food, rafters have plenty of time to relax and enjoy the spectacular surroundings. Join us for this beautiful -- and wet -- Costa Rica adventure!

This full day tour is approximately 10-11 hours with bilingual guides. You raft 20 miles on the Pacuare.

Class III-IV rafting suitable for children 12 and up. Class II-III rafting suitable for children 8 and up.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
