National Geographic Magazine has called the Pacuare River “One of the most beautiful rivers in the world” and we concur! The Pacuare is the last major river in Costa Rica that has escaped both environmental damages and manmade intrusions such as dams. This means that not only can you experience some of the best whitewater rafting in Central America, but you can experience miles of virgin rain forest, spectacular scenery and a wide variety of animals, birds and plan life. Pockets of the forest house exotic jaguars and ocelots, as well as monkeys and sloths and more birds then you can imagine! The Pacuare River Lodge is located on the banks of this unique waterway and offers guests a unique perspective on this amazing part of Costa Rica!
The Pacuare River begins its 108 km journey to the ocean high in the Talamanca Mountains before it reaches the Caribbean. Though thousands of people enjoy rafting this amazing river every year, only a few are lucky enough to stay at the amazing Pacuare River Lodge! With its twelve private, well spaced cabins, the Pacuare River Lodge offers each guest an opportunity to envelope themselves in the natural beauty and scenery of this part of Costa Rica. With a myriad of animal and plant life and a location well off the beaten path, this is the destination for those individuals that are looking to experience a part of Costa Rica that can’t be reached by traditional travelers!
Getting to the Pacuare River Lodge is generally accomplished by raft and guests can begin their journey in either San Jose or the Caribbean beach towns. Once at the Lodge there are many activities that can be incorporated into your stay including zip lines, visits to indigenous local populations and bird watching are just a few! When guests are ready to leave this paradise, they can raft out and then get shuttled to San Jose, the Caribbean or the Arenal, La Fortuna area. While at the Lodge all meals are included and guests enjoy healthy meals made from delicious local ingredients. Alcoholic beverages are available for purchase and there is a great meeting area for all guests to enjoy and share stories of their adventures!
The Pacuare River Lodge offers two and three day rafting adventures with nearly everything included at an extremely reasonable rate! Solar powered with additional generators, the Lodge is respectful of its place in nature and every effort is made to promote sustainability and conservation in every way possible. Enjoy candlelit dinners under the stars surrounded by nothing but the rain forest and the sounds of the animals and birds of the jungle. Your days will be filled with intensive adventures while at night you will experience a peace that is hard to imagine! Hardly, for everyone, the Pacuare River Lodge is a unique lodging option for visitors looking for a remote getaway full of spectacular scenery and action packed adventure!
