After being picked up at your hotel in San Jose, you will be driven to the Pacuare River for a two-day, one-night rafting package. The Pacuare River is considered by many rafters to be one of the world’s five-best Class-III/IV rafting trips. At the beginning of our river trip, there will be professional guides and the equipment waiting for your arrival. Once in the water, you'll experience the exhilaration of riding the waves on this wild and scenic river, which courses through a tropical wilderness of dense vegetation and steep gorges that rise majestically above its banks. When we arrive at our overnight destination, you will find a jungle oasis nestled in the middle of an enchanting and captivating rainforest. Surrounded by nature in its purest and most primitive state, a jungle lodge with comfortable facilities which provides an environmentally friendly comfort and relaxation. Your sleeping accommodations are in one of our elegantly rustic bungalows.

After breakfast, we launch the rafts again for the last part of our trip. Rafting becomes even more exciting today as you use the skills and experience gained on this trip. Your guides will stop the rafts along the journey and lead you up paths and side streams that open onto pristine waterfalls and natural water slides. Here you can swim, splash, and live it up! Lunch will be served along the river, and when we reach the take out, you can change into dry clothes in our private restroom facilities before a representative from the rental car company delivers your 4WD car in order to continue the rest trip on your own.
