Trip Itinerary

On day one, we spend the day rafting Class II and III rapids, stopping to explore refreshing swimming holes and for a delicious riverside lunch. Later in the afternoon, we’ll arrive at Rio Vista Lodge. Once settled in, we’ll tackle the heart-pounding Tarzan Swing, slinging you 200 feet off the ground. After dinner, we’ll fall asleep to the sound of the jungle tucked in our comfortable cabins. The next morning, you’ll wake up to a freshly prepared hot breakfast and coffee. Then it’s back to whitewater, this time with back to back Class IVs in the Pacaure Gorge. After dozens of rapids, the trip concludes in the town of Siquirres.

We did a half day rafting trip with Pacuare Outdoor Center. The guide was very knowledgeable of the area and was excellent. The river is beautiful with some 3-4 class rapids. Everything went smoothly. Really fun and definitely a must do if you are hiking the Camino. 🤙🏼

One of our best vacations ever. We went on the two day rafting trip down the Pacuare river and it was wonderful. The guides were excellent, the meals were great and the rooms were super cool. Thanks for the best rafting trip ever.

Rafting down Pacuare with kids 10 and 13. Excellent guides, gorgeous nature, nice facilities to shower and change at the end of the river experience.

The Rio Pacuare is a very special river! I feel so grateful to have spent two days rafting down it and sleeping next to it. Not everyday do you get to be a part of such remote and stunning nature. The rapids were wild and SO much fun. Tarzan swing is no joke and very memorable! The lodge was truly first class and someplace I could have enjoyed much longer than one night- waking up surrounded by trees and the sounds of the river and birdsong was like a dream. The guides were super skilled, really fun to get along with and took care to make sure we were all happy and looked after at all times. Will keep these memories so fondly and think anyone who chooses this trip w POC would feel just as lucky. Special thanks to Max and Chenay! Seeing how everything operated, I’d absolutely recommend this company for any of their offerings. (barely took photos as I was just living the pura vida life, but they actually have someone take pics on the water for those who want it!)

Amazing trip! Arturo, Julio, Diego, and Kenny were great guides/chefs/bartenders/baristas !! The river is tons of fun and the guides make sure you are safe the entire time. The resort has amazing views and great home cooked food.

The atmosphere compares to none and we were treated like royalty and taken such good care of. Everything was excellent.
