SAN JOSE – PACUARE LODGE (B/L/D)
You will be picked up in a comfortable minibus and transported through the old capital city of Cartago and the lush green farmlands blanketing the slopes of the Irazú and Turrialba volcanoes. After arriving at the Pacuare River, expert guides will provide you with the necessary rafting gear before you set off on your rafting adventure.

After a delicious buffet breakfast, you will launch the rafts again. Rafting the second portion of the river is even more thrilling as you experience a mixture of class III and class IV rapids, surrounded by spectacular scenery.
