Overview

The Pacuare river rafting is one of the best adventure water tours in Costa Rica. The 18-mile one day run includes a total of 52 rapids. 

Pacuare River is world famous for its sheer beauty. A true river gorge, it is flanked by steep, green walls. Here you enjoy the feeling of total isolation from urban life and the realness of being connected with nature. You see waterfalls cascade into the river from both sides as colorful, tropical birds fly right over your head. Amazing views of this virgin tropical rainforest area appear before your eyes as you descend this true exploratory land. Wildlife is abundant, with sloth, toucans, parrots, coatis, morpho butterflies and colorful frogs being common sights.

Do not miss the opportunity to explore this experience that combines the most beautiful rainforest with the adrenaline of the rapids.

Come to Cost Rica frequently for business

Our guide, David, did such a great job taking us down the class 4 rapids! He knew exactly how to navigate the river and gave us some history about the area along the way. This is the best river to raft, although the traffic from road construction is aggravating, getting back to San Jose.
Amazing adventure

The guide was super experienced and funny. The trip was such a nice adventure in many different ways. The nature was beautiful and the animals were fascinating to watch. Of course the river rafting itself was very exciting and fun.

This was our first trip rafting. We loved it. The rapids are what the pictures showed. We went in June 2022 after a big rain, therefore the river was challenging. But, we enjoyed the trip and have good memories.
World famous Rio Pascaure

Fantastic exhilarating tour. Professional safe company with excellent equipment. Roberto gave us proper instructions of how to navigate the world famous Pacaure. Wear sturdy water socks and have your bathing suit and quick drying shirt under your clothes when picked up. Bring a change of clothes and towel to shower with afterwards. Typical Costarican meal was yummy. You must be able to follow instructions and have a tiny by of physical agility to do this tour. If you any tour, this one is a must. Highly recommend
