Day 1 – Wake early for a 2 day white water rafting adventure on the Pacuare RiverYou will travel to the meeting point in Tres Equis between Siquirres and Turrialba on hightway 10. At 10:00 a.m. Sharp. From here we will descend in to heart of the Pacuare Gorge to the river put-in. On its way to the Caribbean Sea, the Pacuare plunges through some of Central America’s last untouched tropical rain forest. Once you arrive at the River, your Professional Bilingual Guides will fit you into our top of the line safety equipment. Then, Prior to launching, the guides will do a comprehensive Rafting Safety Talk. In between the class III and IV rapids you’ll gaze in wonder at the primordial forest and its wild inhabitants. Half way down the river we’ll pull over at our amazing riverside lodge. Sip on a tropical drink or explore the surrounding wilderness while your guides prepare a delicious jungle meal in the fully equipped open-air kitchen. That evening after happy hour and an incredible dinner by candle light you’ll sleep in one of our 14 cozy Cabina Bungalows that all overlook the river and listen as the Jungle’s nocturnal creatures serenade you into a well deserved slumber…
Today, after a delicious Costa Rican breakfast prepared by your trusty guides, you’ll do a guided nature hike deep into the rainforest. Along the way, your guide will point out and explain all of the tropical flora and fauna you encounter.
