LOCATION: Your exciting Whitewater Class II-III-IV River Rafting Adventure takes place on the magnificent Pacuare River in the Coastal Lowlands of Costa Rica's Caribbean.
DESCRIPTION: Boarding your air-conditioned transportation, you'll enjoy the Cultural Interaction of your 80-minute drive to the Rafting Facility. This 16 mile run through Rainforest and jungle canyons is regarded as one of the most beautiful places on Earth to go rafting. Action packed class 3 and class 4 rapids, challenge us all day long as we descend through the most spectacular tropical scenery. There abound myriad species of butterflies, amphibians and aquatic birds. The Pacuare is a trip that everyone from novice to expert rafter will enjoy. Once at the river, our guides will gear you up with the life jackets, helmets and paddles. Then, you will be given a safety speech and orientation. Guides will explain to you step by step the commands to follow in the raft, as well as all of the safety measures and rules. Then a short practice session and off we go! Now it is time to go hiking to a nice waterfall. Once at the cascade, you can take pictures of the waterfall and enjoy of a refreshing swim in the crystalline waters of the pools. Soon we will arrive at our Indian camp to have a buffet lunch. Now, we will keep going downstream facing rapids class II, III and IV (Pin Ball, Guatemala, Cimarrones Arriba, Cimarrones Abajo and Indio). Now it's time to float! Let’s jump into the water and go floating downstream in the majestic canyon of Dos Montañas just before the take out near the highway that goes toward to Limon Port in Siquirres.
