Day 3 ~ Overnight Tropical Rafting

Paddling Down a Tropical River

Throughout the river trip there will be many opportunities for swimming or relaxing next to the river.

 

Day 4 ~ Zip Lines and Canopy Tour

Tarzan Would be Jealous

This morning we rise from our jungle lodging and enjoy a wonderful start to the day along the Pacuare River, observing and listening to the many species of birds. After breakfast, your guides prepare you to experience an adrenaline packed day in a rain forest canopy tour. The group will harness up to experience the excitement of crossing the jungle canopy on zip lines, rappels down trees, and walking above the jungle floor on a suspension bridge. The afternoon is available to rest and relax in hammocks, spot birds and wildlife, swim in waterfalls or hike in the rainforest near the Pacuare River Lodge.

 

Day 5 ~ Rapids & The Beach

Jungle Wake-up Call

Those who enjoy the early morning will especially like a morning hike through the dense rain forest surrounding the lodge. After a hearty breakfast surrounded by tropical birds it’s time to get serious about whitewater fun. Our rafting trip continues down the most challenging section of the Pacuare as class IV drops seem to be around every corner. The spectacular river canyon and virgin rainforest create vertical walls of green, broken by waterfalls and hanging vines. This stretch of the Lower Pacuare River has been voted one of the top 5 commercially rafted rivers in the world by National Geographic and will have you floating past primary rainforest, stunning waterfalls, steep canyons and fun class III and IV rapids. You will enjoy a sumptuous river picnic along the way before reaching the “take out” point in the Caribbean lowlands.

Experience Reggae Night

Our afternoon takeout allows time for a quick shower and change into dry clothes before we continue our journey to the Caribbean Coast. You will enjoy a relaxing evening stroll along the beach, a spot of souvenir shopping, a delicious dinner and perhaps a beachside Caribbean dance club before calling it a night.

 

Day 6 ~ Surf, Sun and Beach

Hang Ten

The white sand beach and clear blue ocean give us many choices today. Take an early morning walk along the beach and through the tropical jungle to spot howler monkeys, sloths and birds. After breakfast, you can receive surfing instruction from one of our guides using our soft top long boards and boogie boards. We take a break and enjoy a delicious lunch in a small local restaurant before going to the Cahuita National Park. After lunch, we head out on a boat for a snorkeling tour. Tropical fish and coastal reefs await any snorkelers in the group or you can hike along the beach spotting wildlife in the jungle setting. Later we pack up and begin our journey through the flat Caribbean terrain, and up through the eastern slops of the central mountains to Turrialba where we will spend the night back at the base hotel.
