The Pacuare River is what made rafting famous in Costa Rica. Beautiful, cascading waterfalls, too many rapids to count, a jungle setting, and year round access make it an idyllic spot. There are three regions that divide the river. The sections are the Upper Upper, the Upper, and the Lower Pacuare. The guide covers commercially rafted section which is the Lower Pacuare. The other two are popular with kayakers looking for Class V fun.
