Day 3:

You’ll be picked up early by our representative for the approximate 2,5 hour drive through the city and countryside to the Pacuare River put-in. After an orientation by your river guide, you’ll begin an exciting 1,5 hour river-rafting trip (class II-III rapids) past impressive tropical landscapes to the Pacuare Lodge, Costa Rica’s premier eco-lodge, which will be your home for the next two nights. You’ll arrive at the lodge around 12:00 noon – 1:00 pm, in time for a delicious lunch. After lunch, you can hike through the lodge’s protected forest with your guide to an idyllic waterfall, take the Canopy Adventure or one of the other optional tours (not included in package price), get a massage or other treatment at the Jawa Juü Spa, or simply relax in your private bungalow or suite and enjoy the tropical nature and tranquility of this remote and beautiful place. After savoring an exquisite candlelight dinner, you may want to pop upstairs to our lounge for a drink before retiring for a restful night’s sleep.

Day 4:

You’ll awaken to birdsong and the soothing sound of the river. Head over to the main lodge for a hearty breakfast of homemade bread, tropical fruits, yogurt, eggs, pancakes, gallo pinto, Turrialba cheese, homemade granola, juice, coffee and tea complemented by a rainforest view. The lodge employs resident naturalist guides who can provide information about the plants and animals that inhabit the surrounding forest. This day is open for enjoying one or more of the lodge’s optional tours (not included in package price). Nature lovers may want to start before breakfast with a daybreak birdwatching tour. Other options are to visit the nearby Cabecar Indian Rancho, for an introduction to the local indigenous culture, or hike to the closest farming community to experience a bit of rural Costa Rican life. Outdoor adventure options include the Canopy Adventure Tour, which takes you gliding between treetop platforms on cables, or tropical canyoning, which combines hiking, rock climbing and rappelling. If you prefer the water, you can paddle down a stretch of the Pacuare River in an inflatable duckie. Hikers have several options to choose from: the Bajo del Tigre & Nairi Awari Reserve Hike, which combines visits to the two nearest communities with rainforest hiking; the Cabecar Indian Tour, a more demanding hike to an isolated indigenous home deep in the forest; or the Ancient Trail and Hidden Waterfall Hike, which heads higher into the mountains to a waterfall, taking most of the day.
