The National Geographic considered the Pacuare River whitewater rafting as one of the world’s top ten river trips in the world; primarily not just with the rapids, but because of the wonderful scenery of virgin rainforest beside it. The river rapids goes up to class V difficulty, that’s why it is especially intended for trained and experienced water rafters. There are tour packages along the area that provides multiple day trips, commonly two to three days for you to fully grasp the wonders of Pacuare River including hiking trails, waterfalls, and natural springs bound to make your trip real exciting.
From the Talamanca Mountain, Pacuare River Class II, III and IV rapids extend 67 miles passing through valleys and mountains covered with rainforest trees and wildlife. The river can be quite calm and steady flowing; making the rafters enjoy the rainforest on the coast for a moment, then the rapids can be made of large waves able to bring your inflatable boat crash from side to side.
How many paddlers can there be in a boat?
Rafter teams have no uniform number, but most of the time, there are 6 to 7 people setting off the boat. There are 6 paddlers in a raft; working hand in hand to angle the raft along the rocks and cliffs commanded by a trained guide. Frequently, there can be trained kayakers to accompany a raft to provide assistance in case of emergencies.
After traversing through the rapids of Pacuare River, your guide will let you enjoy the waters with the absence of the boat; you can float through the emerald green waters while taking a deep breath internalizing the comfort nature gives you. Along with the overhead vegetation and mosses surrounding the waters, you can travel through the canyon and approach a waterfall that runs into the river.
