An area of outstanding natural beauty on the Caribbean side of the Central Mountain Range with the wild Pacuare River offering a wide range of adventure sport activities and grade III-IV river-rafting.
In the Caribbean region of Costa Rica there is a protected zone of incomparable beauty that begins near the town of Siquirres and covers approximately 25,000 acres as it descends down the Talamanca Mountain Range. This is the area known as Pacuare, which constitutes one of the most important protected areas in the region. It's proximity to the lowlands and its high annual rainfall combine to nurture the complex life systems whose abundance makes for extraordinary scenic beauty.
The area is also famous for the Pacuare River, which flows over 100km into the Caribbean Sea. The Pacuare River not only offers the best whitewater rafting sections in Costa Rica, for a distance for over 26 miles, but it is also its surroundings that make it such a draw. The river valley is surrounded by endless tropical jungle, a region so vast that it is connected to the largest portion of uninterrupted tropical rainforests that stretches even into Panamanian territory (La Amistad National Park). Combine this with amazing Class II – IV rapids and you will find the dream destination for rafters and kayakers alike.
