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.
