This river has been officially declared a Wild and Scenic River, and offers some of the finest white water in Latin America, winding deep inside of one of Costa Rica's most impressive primordial rainforests. You will traverse 18 miles of remote and scenic waters that course through a wilderness of dense vegetation covering the sides of steep gorges that rise above the riverbanks. The thick undergrowth provides shelter for jaguars, ocelots, monkeys, sloths, and numerous other species of animals and birds.

Once we pick you up from your hotel, we'll pass through the site of one of Costa Rica's most lovely rainforests, the Braulio Carrillo National Park. As we exit the park, we'll make a brief stop, where a delicious breakfast awaits. The ride to the put in at Tres Equis, including the breakfast stop, is approximately 3 hours. There, professional guides and the rafting equipment will be waiting.

After some brief security instructions, we'll start out on this incredible rafting journey. Rafting is filled with excitement as you squeeze through narrow openings between huge boulders and run long stretches of powerful rapids. You'll break for a delicious lunch of cold meats, cheeses, lettuce, fruits, bread and juice served along the river's edge by your Aventuras Naturales 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.
