A free-flowing river, the Pacuare meanders north and then once it hits the low-lying area of Siquirres, heads east and ends in the Caribbean. The most commonly rafted and visited section is the Lower Pacuare, where you’ll find our popular Two Day Pacuare<\/a> and 3-Daagse Raften + Zip<\/a> adventures. However, when the flows are right other segments of this river are worth exploring. One of these is the Upper Upper Pacuare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Upper Upper Pacuare is located upstream from our regular starting point. If you are in inflatable kayaks or packrafts you need lower water flows, so timing a visit during the dry season is the way to go. Recently, one of our longtime guides, Luigi, a pack rafting guest, and I explored this region. The three of us made a day trip out of it in early March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standard Upper Upper run is just over 10 kilometers, however, you can add a couple of kilometers to this by driving a little further up the road. The scenery is classic Pacuare: vibrant green jungle, rolling hills, and mountains. What’s different is this area has more towns and you’ll see far more Indigenous fishing, farming, or simply hanging out by the river. <\/p>\n\n\n
