Our Pacuare River Rafting tour from San José is available every day, and provides you with the ultimate adventure in the rich lush rainforest. The Pacuare River (Rio Pacuare) is one of the world’s best-regarded white water rafting locations, and the sport has been practiced here widely since the 1980s. The trip fuses the adventure of white water rafting, with the natural beauty of the rich virgin rainforest. See the abundant wildlife including tropical birds overhead, sloths, toucans, parrots, coatis, morpho butterflies, and colorful frogs. Enjoy a feeling of total isolation from urban life as you connect with nature.

The 18-mile white water rafting in this river is rather gentle, yet the 52 rapids add extra fun to this adventure. The rafting will take place after a full safety orientation, and kitting you out with protective gear (a life jacket, helmet and paddle). The river develops through different stages, the earlier stage has fun rapids, with the lower stages calmer, offering beautiful views of the nature and the opportunity to spot animals along the way. The rafting ends at Siquirres in our private exploration center where you’ll be able to shower, change, and relax in the gardens over a beer.
