Pacuare River Rafting

The Rio Pacuare is listed as one of the five best rivers in the world for rafting, offering all who visit it an experience of adventure and contemplation of nature. Adrenaline enthusiasts will enjoy running class III and IV rapids, at the same time, that they will be able to appreciate a tropical rain forest with all its flora and fauna. We start the tour near the Tres Equis community, an hour east of Turrialba.

Before entering the river, the guides give an important safety briefing to familiarize them with the necessary commands and safety instructions that they will need on the river. After practicing all the commands and exercises, the descent of the river begins. Shortly after entering, the excitement goes up a notch when reaching the first rapid, Initiation. It is quickly understood why some of the rapids have been labelled with their specific names, such as the Huacas, Dos Montañas, El Indio and Cimarrones. Halfway through the tour we make a stop, our guides prepare lunch while you are resting and enjoying the panoramic views and the flora and fauna of the region. After lunch, we continue the adventure along the river, one more challenge, new rapids to discover and new environments. The journey ends upon reaching a bridge in the city of Siquirres and then back to Turrialba.
