The Pacuare river winds through one of Costa Rica's most striking stretches of primary forest. 30 kilometres of white water, classes III and IV, open to anyone aged 12 and over, make it the world's 5th-ranked river for rafting. Guided by an experienced team, after a safety briefing and once fully equipped, you take on the first rapids. The bold sit at the front, the more relaxed in the middle, and the most technical paddlers at the back. The pace picks up as the river cuts deeper into dense forest, punctuated by waterfalls appearing out of nowhere and churning rapids. The day's goal is to reach the riverside lodge, arrived at after a 2-hour descent.
After your stay at the secluded riverside lodge, a 4-hour descent is needed to return to civilisation. A change of scenery and plenty of laughter guaranteed!

The Ostional Wildlife Refuge was established in 1984 to protect this olive ridley turtle nesting site, one of the most important in the world. If luck is on your side, you can visit the beach after checking in with ...
