White water is equally exciting. It is not a river too challenging, but it has many rapids, so it offers an adventure full of fun. The 18-mile day race includes a total of 52 rapids. Few rivers in the world can offer you so many.
The first 4 miles consist of fun class II-III rapids, which is the perfect time to test your new skills in the river and gain confidence in your team. Here you can find secondary forest spots that are extremely beautiful. After about 40 minutes, we will enter the famous Pacuare river gorge, which is 8 kilometers from some of the best whitewater rafting that Costa Rica has to offer. You will also see the Huacas waterfall, a spectacular fall of 150 feet in the river.
After the gorge, the rivers open up to a 5-mile stretch in the Pacuare Valley, where the river has a different character. It is well open, which gives you the opportunity to rest a little and take the opportunity to observe wildlife. The forest remains equally exuberant, and the rapids just as fun.
