Day 2: RIVER PACUARE (CLASS III-IV)
Shortly after 7:00 a.m. your guide will pick you up at your hotel for a scenic drive and a stop for a traditional buffet breakfast along the way.  Arriving at your put-in point you’ll load your gear into dry bags, hike down to the river, prepare the equipment raft, undergo a precise safety and paddle talk, and get wet.  First day on the river is approximately 4 miles (1 1/2 hours) and provides an amazing welcome to the spectacular of the Pacuare River with amazing rapids, waterfalls thundering into the river and a show of butterflies and birds.  At a stop about halfway down you’ll enjoy a hearty riverside picnic lunch with time for a waterfall and swim.  Arrive at the riverside lodge offering all the sleeping comforts you’ll need with very rustic, clean, and comfortable rooms.  The eco-lodge blends authentic wilderness with boutique comfort. Enjoy 360° jungle views, riverside beaches, thrilling rafting adventures, and gourmet meals prepared by your own river guide-turned-chef. It’s not just a stay—it’s an unforgettable Costa Rican journey into nature, beauty, and adventure. Afternoon can be spent hiking, relaxing under a waterfall or just wondering about.  The energy in camp is generated by small hydro wheel and even tough there is light in the rooms, it is recommended that you bring a flashlight along. A cocktail hour and then a delicious dinner will be the end of this perfect first day

Depending on the weather, the river level, and the group’s interest, you’ll take time to explore side creeks, catch some “rays” and enjoy world class whitewater.
You will make it to the take-out by by mid-afternoon to de-rig the rafts, and head to a private take-out where showers and cold drinks are available. Afterwards you will be transferred to Puerto Viejo (Caribbean) and Azania Bungalows.
