Approx.
day itinerary
Day 1: You’ll depart San José early in
the morning, stopping for a delicious breakfast, at our New Rios
Tropicales Operations Center, before arriving at the river. Once at the
river, your friendly and professional guides will load your gear into
dry bags, prepare the equipment and give you complete safety and paddle
instruction. The first day’s Class III rapids welcome you to the
Pacuare
gorge’s charm as you raft deep in the heart of primary rainforest.
While
your guides prepare you a hearty picnic lunch on the riverbank, you’ll
be led through the jungle to an enchanting waterfall and pool to swim.
Before you know it, you’ll arrive
at
the award-winning Rios Tropicales Lodge where you can spend the
afternoon relaxing, hiking or soaking in our waterfall and pools.
Nestled in the jungle on our 1,000-acre private reserve, the lodge
offers you all the comforts you need in “Cabecar Indian” style
bungalows. Private single and double rooms are spacious with clean
linen
and there are modern bathrooms and showers. Electricity is generated by
a self-sufficient hydro-plant. Happy Hour will put you in the mood for
a
tropical evening, followed by a luscious candlelight dinner with wine
served by your guides.
Day 2: Don’t worry about wake-up time. The
beauty of the light through the forest, the sound of toucans and the
smell of coffee will get you going. This day is designed to enjoy the
lodge surroundings. You can choose a variety of hikes – a 4-5 hour hike
high to the Pacuare Reserve, a 2-3 hour hike to nearby waterfalls and
pools, or short walks near the lodge – or just relax in a hammock and
enjoy nature. Experience a side of the Pacuare few people know!
(Note: For the 2-day trip, simply omit day 2.
You will not spend the extra day at the Lodge.)
Day 3: After a hearty breakfast and loading
the
rafts, you’ll prepare to paddle down the Pacuare gorge past gushing
waterfalls, serene pools and pounding rapids. A snack stop by the
riverside let you explore more waterfalls and natural waterslides. An
adrenaline-packed afternoon running rapids like Upper and Lower Huacas,
Cimarron, Dos Montañas and many more, will have you cheering
ecstatically. Hot lunch will be served at our New Rios Tropicales
Operations Center. Showers, changing rooms, cold and hot drinks and
snacks are available. On the return drive to San José, you’ll
enjoy remarkable views of Braulio Carrillo National Park and
Irazú Volcano.
