Fact Sheet
Pacuare Outdoor Center – Established in 2003
Two lodges, two experiences
We built our Pacuare Eco-Lodge in 2005 and Rio Vista opened at the end of 2022. With both located in the Pacuare River corridor, we offer three experiences that allow access to our lodges.

Location
Nestled deep in the heart of the Pacuare, our lodges are located further upriver than any other accommodation on the entire waterway. As you raft down the emerald rapids, civilization fades away, leaving only the untamed embrace of the rainforest. No lodges or cabins mar the pristine banks, offering you an unparalleled sense of remoteness.
- Four hours from San Jose, Costa Rica.
- Most guests raft in, which is a half to full-day.
- Both lodges are located on River Left, allowing us to have greater access than other lodges on the Pacuare River.
