The Pacuare River is one of the best choices for your adventure
treks in Costa Rica. Another trip in the country does not
exist that offers you a perfect blend of wilderness exposure
and excitement.
Our overnight Pacuare Adventure is a paddle and hike expedition.
Not only will we raft a variety of exciting rapids, but we
will also hike to pristine waterfalls, fun swimming holes
and primary jungles.
