Costa Rica Rafting Adventure Holiday
Situated on the banks of Costa Rica’s iconic Pacuare River, Pacuare Lodge offers a diverse array of activities for thrill-seekers and explorers alike. Guests can navigate exhilarating Class III and IV rapids, glide past cascading waterfalls, and marvel at the verdant jungle scenery whilst river rafting. Your expert rafting guides will pack a picnic lunch for you to have downstream at Siquirres before your 4×4 transfer back to the lodge.
Beyond rafting, the lodge’s Pacuare Canopy Adventure invites guests to rappel down towering trees and soar through the treetops on zip lines. For an extra dose of adrenaline, canyoning offers a combination of rock climbing, jungle swings, and a breathtaking 30-metre rappel down a rock face.
The Pacuare Lodge Experience
Pacuare Lodge combines eco-conscious luxury with unparalleled adventure. Accessed primarily by rafting—a journey only suitable for guests aged 12 and above—the lodge offers a rare opportunity to explore the rainforest without sacrificing comfort.
"Towering ceiba trees, vibrant orchids, and other flora thrive in this remote environment, while monkeys, sloths, jaguars, and a kaleidoscope of bird species like toucans and hummingbirds bring the rainforest to life."
This ecological haven is a paradise for both nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts and continues to be a vital sanctuary for Central America’s biodiversity.
The lodge has just 20 exquisite suites inspired by indigenous Cabécar design, and blends seamlessly into its rainforest surroundings. Guests can unwind in serene jungle settings, savour farm-to-table cuisine, and enjoy thoughtful service while immersing themselves in the lodge’s ethos of sustainability and sophistication.
For those seeking cultural enrichment, a visit to the Cabécar community provides a rare glimpse into the traditions and sustainable way of life of Costa Rica’s largest indigenous group. Guests can also explore Bajo del Tigre, a nearby village, with a naturalist guide to better understand the interplay between community life and the rainforest. Alternatively, uncover the mysteries of Costa Rica’s past with a trip to Guayabo National Monument, the country’s oldest and most significant pre-Columbian archaeological site.
Pacuare Lodge is loved by to a variety of travellers—from adventurous honeymooners seeking seclusion in nature to eco-conscious explorers eager for authentic cultural and ecological experiences. With its dramatic landscapes, exhilarating activities, and unwavering commitment to sustainability, Pacuare Lodge delivers an unforgettable retreat in the heart of Costa Rica’s rainforest.
