Trip Itinerary

You’ll meet at 9:30AM in Linda Vista, where our guides will be waiting for you. From here, we’ll transfer you to the river, where the guides will run through a safety talk and teach you how to paddle together. Then the river trip is underway!

This tour takes place on the first section of the Pacuare River, Class II and III rapids, making it appropriate for younger paddlers as young as 8 years old. Along the way, we’ll stop at a creek to explore its swimming holes and cool off in the water. From there, we’ll keep rafting a few more kilometers until we reach Rio Vista Lodge, where we’ll pull out. In total, we raft 6 kilometers.

At the lodge, the guides will put together a delicious lunch spread, followed by a short break before heading over to our famous Tarzan Swing. Here, you’ll strap in and let loose as we sling you far out over the river corridor for a thrilling ride. Once you’re back on solid ground, we’ll drive you back to your vehicle in Linda Vista, concluding the tour in the afternoon.

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.

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.
