Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys

If you dream about rafting on a wild tropical river to the front door of your accommodation, the Pacuare is it! Rated as one of the top whitewater rafting rivers in the world, today you're in for an unforgettable adventure. Your early morning transfer will pick you up from your accommodation in the outskirts of San Jose for a drive through the green hills and rainforest of the Costa Rican highlands. Along the way you'll stop to enjoy a delicious, typical Costa Rican breakfast before continuing on to the banks of the famous Pacuare River. The river flows from the Talamanca Mountains all the way down to the Caribbean and is well known among whitewater rafters all over the world as one of the planet's five best rafting rivers. Thrilling rapids and spectacular cascading waterfalls await you along with more tranquil sections of river where you can enjoy the peace of the impressive and diverse flora and fauna. After receiving full instructions you'll launch your raft with your professional guides for an adrenaline-pumping ride down river through Class II-III rapids. Before arriving at your jungle Eco-Lodge, you'll stop on the river banks to enjoy a light lunch as well as have the opportunity to swim in the refreshing river pools. The rest of the day is free for you to relax at the beautiful lodge, kicking back in the hammocks, and swimming under the on-site cascades or maybe doing an optional canopy zip line tour before enjoying a nice dinner at night.
