Activity itinerary

The first 4 miles feature thrilling class II-III rapids, perfect for honing your skills and building team confidence. Along the way, enjoy pockets of stunning secondary forest. After 40 minutes, enter the renowned Pacuare River Gorge, a 5-mile (8-kilometer) stretch of Costa Rica's finest whitewater. Tackle exciting rapids like Terciopelo Snake, Double Drop, Upper and Lower Huacas, and Pin Ball, and marvel at the breathtaking Huacas Waterfall, a 150-foot (45-meter) drop into the river. Beyond the gorge, the river broadens into the Valle del Pacuare, offering a calmer 5-mile (8-kilometer) stretch perfect for wildlife spotting and relaxing. Rapids like "Cimarrones," "The Play Hole," "El Indio," and "Magnetic Rock" keep the adventure alive amid lush scenery. The journey ends in Siquirres, where you can refresh with a shower, change clothes, and unwind in the gardens or on the terrace with a beer, sharing memories of your unforgettable adventure.
