Rios Tropicales Pacuare Eco Lodge And Rafting 2 Day Adventure

Perfect complement to 5 star luxury

The perfect antidote to the gluttonous 5 star hotels…tranquil oasis amongst rainforest where you can spend a few days getting back to nature. The accommodation is simple which perfectly complements the experience and environment. V friendly staff and atmosphere. This was our first time white water rafting, and to do it surrounded by miles of dense rainforest…well, it doesn’t get much better. Bring good bug repellent, binoculars (so you can spot wildlife from the restaurant), two sets of dry clothes (clothes do not dry quickly in the forest) and trainers. A perfect interlude to 5 star luxury…a mix which allows you to truly appreciate both.

Very much in the jungle but an AMAZING ADVENTURE!

Very much in the jungle but an INCREDIBLE experience. We did a 2night, 3day trip and it genuinely was quite an experience! First day we were picked up from our hotel and transferred to the river. Be aware, you take what you need for a couple of days only and your big bags will be reunited with you at the end. Sun cream, bug spray, water bottles, wet clothes/shoes, dry clothes, walking boots and jungle night time clothes are a must. We hadn’t white water rafted before and were happy to be in a boat with a family for the whole experience, aka it felt super safe while being amazingly good fun. Rafting into the lodge was easy and lasted about 2hrs. The lodge is in the jungle, amazing views, pools to swim in, food and service was excellent - I did find it quite challenging with spiders, snakes, bats etc but I didn’t even get a mosquito bite. Day 2 was an idilic day reading and enjoying the hammocks while others in the group went on walks and took advantage of the zip lines. Day 3 stole the show for me. After feeling very nervous about the 3/4 rapids, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Safe, assured, the guides knew the river and we worked with them to make sure we got the most from it. I would highly recommend this trip, be adventurous and these guys make it a safe and exciting trip!

2 Day Raft Trip

The two day trip was the perfect pace and perfect amount of time to have fun and enjoy the river. The guides are knowledgeable and make sure you feel safe and keep safe.

A true life highlight

If you go to Costa Rica, you absolutely must do this trip. Tone of the best experiences of my life. The rafting was fantastic fun, and the lodge surrounded by nature is utter bliss.

Unforgettable experience , 100% recommended

Unforgettable experience , 100% recommended to everybody in love with the nature and the good vibes. Both of our guides Gustavo and Esteban have a lot of knowledge about Wild life, environment, culture. they did an excellent job hosting us for 2 days, cooking delicious meals, and giving us all the briefings and the tips for raft the Pacuare river following all safety procedures and having fun all the time. The Pacuare river is an amazing place to explore, the lodge is located in the middle of the rainforest surrounded by waterfalls just 5 minutes far from your bungalow. We’ll love to come back and visit you again guys you rock thanks for everything. Also massive thanks to Raul our safety kayaker for helping out on the last day. Pura vida!

White water adventure of a lifetime

This was the most fun, exhilarating and amazing adventure! As a first time white water rafter I was quite apprehensive but our guides Christopher, Estefan, and Diego in the kayak made this the trip of a lifetime! We felt so safe in their very capable hands. Their vast river rafting experiences were demonstrated fine and again as we negotiated Class l-lV rapids. Not only did they drive, instruct and guide us but they were also magnificent t cooks serving us a total of 5 meals on our overnight adventure. The jungle lodge was a huge bonus and Christopher and Estefan even guided us on an afternoon hike to 2 waterfalls. Such a great team and such a wonderful time. Rios Tropicales is number one with me and we would highly recommend!

Amazing 2 day rafting trip on the Pacuare river.

Our family of four had an amazing 2 day rafting trip with an overnight stay at the Rio Tropicales Eco lodge. The scenery on the river was incredible and the rapids were exhilarating and fun. Christopher, our guide, went above and beyond to make sure that we had an amazing time. He took us on several hikes in the rain forest around the lodge and pointed out interesting plants and animals along the the way. We also had an awesome time on the river and with Christopher as our guide and Diego in the safety kayak, we felt safe at all times. Our 2 day rafting trip on the Pacuare river was an incredible adventure and one of our most treasured memories of our 10 day vacation in Costa Rica!

Memories for a lifetime

We booked a two day rafting trip with another couple and would highly recommend this adventure! Julian, Stefan and Diego were amazing guides. They took awesome care of us. They were clear in their instructions and we always felt safe. They included side trips and hikes to swim under waterfalls. The food was tasty and well prepared and presented. The lodge is rustic but comfortable just what you would expect. The rafting is incredible, rapid after rapid. We are used to cold water and 6 rapids on a 3-4 hour tour in the PNW. This water was refreshing and I lost count of the rapids. The canyon is so beautiful.

Best rainforest vacation in Costa Rica

Our family just finished a 3 day 2 night rafting adventure on the Pacuare river while staying at Rios Tropicale lodge. It was the the best family adventure ever. Esteban & Gustavo who were our river guides also cooked our meals & led us on rainforest nature hikes. This experience went above & beyond our expectations. Their personable additions to our stay were unbelievable & our teenage boys raved about it for days later. I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend this lodge for a true Costa Rica rain forest experience with lodging comfort & a warm personable touch.

Unable to rebook with my 2020 credit

I booked a 2 day Pacuare River lodge trip for my family of 6 people during the summer of 2020. The trip was cancelled due to Covid, and I have reached out to Rios Tropicales by phone, email, and website inquiry to try to rebook for 2021, using my $1900 deposit which they said they would honor. After 2 months of attempts to communicate, I have heard nothing back from Rios Tropicales. I have taken a river trip with them in the past and loved it. I would like nothing more than to take this trip in 2021 and post a rave review. This would require that they respond to me.

refused to honor their cancellation policy and stole $560

Stole $560 from me. I had a trip booked to Costa Rica for March 2020. Because of Covid, Costa Rica closed it's borders 2 weeks before our trip. Every hotel reimbursed us... except Rios Tropicales. We had cancelled 2 weeks in advance which, according to their cancellation policy we only needed to cancel 2 days in advance. I kept asking for my money back and they kept beating around the bush. Excuses were the financial impact from Covid... yea... we are ALL hurting. That doesn't mean you get to keep my money for no services rendered. Then they said it would be reimbursed within 30-90 days (LIARS!). They continued with excuses and lying for months and I had to get my credit card company involved and 8 months later I am still fighting for my money back. They offered NOTHING, not even a credit for a future trip which tells me... they are hell bent on keeping the money for no services rendered. Unbelievable. The sad thing is, I was a multiple-repeat customer of RT and they have completely lost my business forever (I go to CR every 2 years). A company with no integrity. And during the worst financial crisis of my lifetime, I am out $560.

River Rafting and Eco Lodge in the Forest of Costa Rica

My wife and I recently spent 3 days in the safe hands of 'Johnny' and his team from Rios Tropicales. We cannot rate them highly enough, they made our trip safe and fun and exciting. Their knowledge and personalities and love of what they do shone through. They cooked for us, and chatted to us, and gave us a walking tour of the forest. This trip was the best bit of our recent holiday to Costa Rica, and we enjoyed every other day of the holiday too. Can't wait to come back for more. John & Jo, Sheffield, England

Best Trip Ever!!!

This trip was the best trip of my entire life! I couldn't have asked for better tour guides, accommodations, food ect. Otto, Diego, and Sebastian were nothing but welcoming, very informative and fun! Although one member in our group attempted to ruin a portion of the trip the guides pulled through and still made it the best trip possible. I couldn't be more thankful of how everything turned out and I will definitely be returning in the near future. Thank you Rio Tropicales for the most memorable trip of a lifetime!!!!

An exciting and beautiful trip through a rain forest canyon

Rios Tropicales offers multiple options for river (trips of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 days) but the amount of river rafting is the same for all of them. We recommend the two day trip (see below). The time of the longer trips is taken up by hiking, zip lining, and rappelling down a waterfall, all of which are accessed from the lodge at approximately one third of the way down the river. All trips from San José require an early start (at 5:30 AM) but it is well worth it. After a 2.5 hr van trip from San José over the mountains to their operations center, you have a typical Costa Rican breakfasts for eggs, rice and beans, fried plantains, fruit, and juice.  A large, school-sized bathroom with lockers (for items not going on the overnight trip) is also at the center.    The first day of all trips except the one day trip involves class 1 and 2 rapids and covers the first 1/3 of the river. The one day trip does the whole river (class 1-4 rapids) in about 3.5 hr. The multi-day trips stop 4 times to go swimming and to have a simple but nice picnic lunch. You arrive at the Rios Tropicales Lodge at about 1:30 PM (see listing of Rios Tropicales Lodge for description). The second day of the two day trip starts with a short (1 hr) hike in morning to a lovely waterfall with a drop of about 30 feet. Rafting starts at about 10:45 AM and lasts for 2.5 hrs, going over rapids of class 1, 2, 3, and 4 through the impressively beautiful jungle canyon. A 15 min van trip takes you back to the operations center, where you can shower, put on dry clothes, and have a simple lunch before the 2.5 hr van trip back to San José, arriving a few minutes after 5:00 PM. The rafting guides were knowledgeable, professional, and personable. Nonetheless, it is very important to precisely follow the instructions of the guides regarding what to do, and when to do it, in order to safely navigate the rapids.

An outstanding and memorable experience

We did the two night package, arriving at the lodge late afternoon, after a gentle but beautiful introduction to the River Pacuare. Our room was large and comfortable and the view from the shared balcony outstanding. Hot water was not so hot at times, but hey this lodge is largely self-sustaining, everything has to come in and out by raft. Food was simple, very tasty and plentiful. No wifi, only paths in the jungle to explore and the river to watch or play in, so peaceful. The highlight was the raft out of the lodge, a three-hour thrill filled time on a beautiful and totally remote stretch of river, with virgin rain forest either side. The staff and guides were outstanding, gave us all clear instructions and confidence and enjoyed the thrills with us. All-in-all this was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica.

Unbelievably wonderful

My wife and I (50s) rafted in spent 2 nights and rafted out perhaps one of the best experiences of our lives! The zip wiring across the river is an absolute must- the staff especially Roy , Jarrett and Gabby attentive hosts talented chefs and reassuringly compétent -simple but fabulous -we are coming back with our adult children ! Thanks

Every day was unique and amazing!

We did 3 nights, 4 day tour .. and we packed a lot in. We couldn’t have done without the help of our fab guide Esteban. This business is special, the history of the 4 owners, the people they employ, the local community and school they support. It’s all amazing. Esteban made our trip.. and it’s sad but we all felt like we had left one of our party behind when we left! He told us lots of interesting facts about the jungle but we also went zip wiring with him and Diageo (excellent too), hiking with Jorge who is a great botanist (self made but passionate and so knowledgable) and dragged Esteban horse riding with us too! 😁. Horse riding was so relaxing, meandering through the countryside. But the icing on the cake was having lunch in a local families home. I will recommend this company and Esteban for years and I really hope we can come back again one day.

Thrilling!

What an amazing but long day! We joined this trip from San Jose which meant a 5.20 am start. Due to pick ups, road works and traffic it took us over 4 hours to get out to the operations centre. But don’t lose heart it is absolutely worth it. Thee guides are amazing! Our guide was called Michael. He was so skilful and funny. We also had Pepe who was our safety guy in a kayak. The river is enthralling and deceptive. We had a large range of rapids from class 2 to 4. The teenagers loved it and so did the parents! We had a couple of opportunities to get out of the boat and swim. It was warm. The time flew but we were rafting for about 3 hours. We also got breakfast and lunch at the operations centre which was really good quality. This is definitely in our top 3 experiences. Don’t be put off by the transfers it’s absolutely worth it.

Great 3 day experience, beautiful river, lodge and people

Great 3 day experience, beautiful river, lodge and people. Our River Guides Roy and Estavan were great. Really good food and nice Lodge

BEST RAFTING TOUR EVER!!!

I can’t even express in words how incredible this tour was... it was an unforgettable lifetime experience. Our guide Ivan (& Max) were the best!! Ivan made us feel like we were experts on the river with his amazing guidance! We got to make some clay mud masks while floating... have super fun water fights with other rafter friends... he also taught us so much about the different birds and trees we’d see too! He and Max made us delicious meals along the river, as well as at the lodge. They felt like long lost friends. Every part of the 2 day, overnight tour was organized. Staying the night at the eco-lodge was also very comfortable and having the river sound was so soothing. There are swimming ponds under waterfalls at the resort, and a hike also. If you’re planning to visit Costa Rica, I’d definitely make time for Rios Tropicales! Thank you all so much!!!! Pura vida!

Great guides

I can’t compliment the guides of Rios Tropicales enough for their professionalism, their sense of humour, their experience and knowledge and their constant attempt to go out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and happy with all the activities that were arranged.

The highlight of our trip!

Fun rafting, great food, awesome guides, nice accommodation. The guides really did all they could to give us a good time 🥇👌🏼

Pura Vida

13 years ago, my wife and I did this same whitewater rafting and eco lodge trip. It is still an breathtaking immersion into the depths of Rio Pacuare's tropical rainforest canyon. The Rios Tropicales staff pays close attention to the details of your experience, both on the river and at the lodge. Rooms are beautifully sited for maximum enjoyment of the rainforest and river. In anticipation of our arrival, housekeeping staff put towels in the shape of love swans on the bed, which was very much appreciated by we returning honeymooners! Food is locally sourced and memorably prepared. Rafting guides are also guides for the phenomenal zipline network zig-zagging through the canopy and over the river. Tropical birds, lush rainforest, warm weather and many excellent adventures combine to make a trip with Rios Tropicales, the best!

Best part of our Vacation!

Thank you Luis and Diego. You made the trip Fun, Safe and Unforgettable. Our family can't stop talking about all the fun we had. Thanks to the team that cooked for us, the food was delicious. We will see you again next year, hopefully we get to ask for you again. The Pura Vida Team!!!

Amazing rafting and even more amazing guides!

This was, hands-down, the best river adventure we have ever been on! From the moment Rio Tropicales picked us up at our hotel, we knew we were going to have a fun adventure! For our trip, we were the only couple on the 2 day rafting adventure with one night at the eco lodge. Ivan was our guide and he was phenomenal! He got us up to speed with paddling and was so much fun to hang out with. The rapids were amazing and the views from the river were unreal. I wish we had booked more than a 1 night adventure, but we will be back for more rafting and more adventures with this company!

Amazing time!

This 2 day white water rafting trip down the Pacuare River was so much fun!! Our guides Ivan, Enso and Ricardo were fantastic, so professional, knowledable and our guide in our raft, Ivan, was so much FUN!! The Ecolodge was so beautiful, and the food the guys made for us was fantastic!! Highly recommend this trip!! The rafting was exhilarating, haven’t screamed and laughed that much in a long time! Ask for Ivan, you will have a great time!

Awesome! Best River adventure Ive done!

We booked the 2 day rafting tour on the Pacuare River with Rios Tropicales and it was superb from beginning to end. We arrived and parked our rental car at the Operations center where it was safe and watched, We also were able to store our luggage in a locked area which was safe until we returned from our trip. The operations center is huge and well equipped for large crowds with ample showers and locker room areas as well as a great outdoor dining area. We traveled from the operations center to the river about 30-45 min away. I was impressed with the staff and their professionalism and making sure all was safe. Our guide was Isabella who was fun and full of laughs yet keenly aware of safety. The actual river was amazing... lots of rapids and beautiful scenery. The eco-lodge cabins are great! Very comfortable for a nice overnight stay. The river roared all night next to us and it was a great sleeping pill.The food served was healthy and tasty, and good portions (especially being a guy) and very well done. I was impressed as it was all brought in on the rafts. All and all the lodge was a great spot to overnight and relax. Day two of the trip took us again into many class 3 and 4 rapids. The scenery included narrow canyons, misty waterfalls, and views of the rainforest and all its beauty. I highly recommend this trip and company. Its for those who want to experience team work and go to place few travel. The guides and company is well organized and run and above all safe. Go for it... Pura Vida!!

Awesome, inspiring but safe,

Wow......... my family travelled with this company as part of a trip organised by Intrepid but they deserve their own review. Truly invigorating and scary at times, we instantly trusted the team but especially our own raft instructor, Sasy. He was an utter professional and knew the river and the environment surrounding it like the back of his hand. Sasy gave us very clear instructions and drilled us until we were perfect. He was very funny, warm and caring. Cartwheeling in the back of the raft as we hung on for our lives it was clear how comfortable he was in this environment. Sasy also spotted lots of wildlife and taught us. At the lodge he assiste£ the team in cooking for us and was everpresent, checking we were ok. Saying goodbye was awful. Our heartfelt thanks go to him and the team for a fantastic 2 days.

Pacuare River rafting - spectacular!

We booked the two day rafting tour on the Pacuare River with Rios Tropicales, and from pick-up at our San Jose airport hotel through an exceptional two days of beauty and adventure they impressed me with their professionallism and care. As a first-time rafter at age 67, I was nervous about the physical requirements, but the guides kept us safe and made the adventure absolutely delightful. The cabins are comfortable; the food (all carried in and cooked on-site by the guides) was healthy and tasty, and I am confident to recommend this adventure to everyone with a cooperative spirit and a reasonably funcional body. Keep in mind that you will be working together with the other rafters to paddle through rapids with many splashes (you'll be soaked), drops, and thrills. Unfortunately, the river came up too high for us to safely run the lower stretch of the river,so we spent the second day hiking out rather than running the gorge, but the guides were dedicated to safety, and I respected them even more for their decision to put safety above the grumbling of a few of our party. Because we were not able to run the lower stretch of the river, Rios Tropicales immediately issued a partial refund of the price we had paid without even waiting for us to request it. I highly recommend this company!!

2 Day Adventure with Rios Tropicales

Definetely I would recommend this company and to anyone! I've just finished 2 days rafting trip with overnight at Rio Tropicales eco lodge, and awerything was just great! Pacuare is a beaufiful river with amazing views: cloud forests, waterfalls, narrow canyons. Our boat guide was Sebastian. And he sensirely did his best to make our rafting trip extremely safe and fun and non-stop hilarious. Thankfully to Sebastian and all the staff these two days became the brightest impression of the whole my 4-weeks trip in Costa Rica. Many thanks for the great job!

The overnight trip is an absolute Must!

My boyfriend and I had an amazing trip in Costa Rica from Dec 5-12, 2012. One of the highlights was this overnight White Water rafting trip with Rios Tropicales. IT is so much more than you can ever imagine. We were picked up from our hostel in San Jose early in the morning for a real adventure. We paid $250 each for 2 breakfasts, 2 lunch, 1 dinner, rafting for 2 days, mini hikes to waterfalls, accommodations at a beautiful in the rainforest ecolodge, and a mini zip line tour. The price also included pick up and drop off transportation from our hostel. The staff were so friendly and professional. This was my first time ever white water rafting and not being a strong swimmer myself, I was very nervous. Luckily, I was equipped with thorough simple instructions, and the staff were very funny and so helpful that I felt completely safe the entire trip. Thank you David and Chico! The raft experience was incredible with a 'Jurassic Park' like back drop and rapids that will make you smile from ear to ear. My boyfriend and I were so happy we chose the over night option because there is so much to appreciate about this experience that one day would really not be enough. The Eco-lodge was a real highlight for us. The Lodge was located on the side of the Pacuare River in the rainforest, and the set up is 100% self sustaining. The Ecolodge is an incredible oasis with private waterfalls, a mini zipline option, cabins located in the rainforest, and the site is just close enough for you to be to hear the surrounding waterfalls and the Pacuare River everywhere you go. What's also great is a professional photographer came with us on the rapids and captured breath taking photos of the journey. We were able to keep our cameras and all of our clothes and gear safe from water and were able to take home some amazing memories. We simply paid for a link to have high res pictures of our adventure. All I can say is this was an AWESOME experience and an absolute must if you are in Costa Rica. Pura Vida!

One word.....Paradise!!

Thank you Rios Tropicales for the most wonderful, relaxing, exciting, romantic, beautiful vacation I've ever had. Costa Rica was great, but this trip was the highlight!! I cannot recommend this trip more. My girlfriend and I spent two days in the hands of experienced personable and friendly guides who not only guided the raft trip but were our hosts and cooks at the lodge! First off, I'm a former raft guide and have rafted many rivers in the northeastern US. The Pacuare river is without a doubt the best white water river I have ever paddled! The rapids are relatively continuous, the river gorge is amazing beautiful as the river winds thru a jungle gorge replete with waterfalls and wildlife like toucans and howler monkeys, and there are some pretty good hydraulics for surfing (even with a raft!). It's incredibly private. In our two days on the river, I saw only one other raft trip go by. On the first day our trip consisted of only two paddle rafts with 8 guests and a supply raft and safety boater! The Pacuare river deserves it's reputation as a top 10 river in the world!! The raft trip alone would be worth the price of admission, but we stayed overnight in a tropical paradise! On day one, we rafted a section of the river with less intense rapids (good for getting used to white water, for those who haven't rafted), we had a relaxing stop for lunch complete with papaya, melons and watermelon, and arrived at the incredible Rio Tropicales lodge for an overnight. Our room was on the 3rd floor of a wooden bungalo with king size posturpedic mattress, a "to die for" view of the the river, a fully functional bathroom and shower! Sleeping was incredibly restful with the sound of tropical rain on the roof and the river just outside the door. The grounds were beautiful, there's several mountain streams and water falls with small pools underneath to take a dip in, there's a suspension bridge across the gorge and a wonderful hiking trail thru the jungle, they even have about 4 zip lines on property (included amenity!). There are several open covered areas with hammocks, rocking chairs, a variety of books and magazines, a bird guide and binoculars for those who want to kick back and relax after the day of rafting. The guides become chefs and cook up a wonderful "tico" meal of rice and chicken with salad and breakfast in the am as well. There were only 6 of us staying one night (I wish I could have stayed 2!), one couple staying two nights, and a small group was there for 3 days. The lodge is remote and only accessable by raft or foot! They raft all supplies in and out and it's eco friendly with their own hydro and generator. I would recommend packing a headlight or flashlight for the night as the generator sometimes goes out for short times. This is not 5 star hotel atmosphere, but it's not camping either! But if you're looking for a remote, private, quiet, romantic tropical paradise - the Rios Tropicales is for you!!! I thought this was an incredible deal. The $285 per person included transportation from your hotel in San Jose (about a 2 hr drive), breakfast at their operation center, transport to the river, the guided rafting trip, incredible overnight accomodations (one night), lunch, dinner breakfast, and another lunch when you get off the river and transport back to San Jose! For those who have never rafted, the guides are excellent! Two women in my boat had never been rafting before and never felt scared. I would recommend this trip, this river and this company to anyone with a sense of adventure, but who also likes to be pampered and sleep in a bed!

très sympa

descente sur 2 jours de la rivière Pacuare, avec des personnes qualifiées et sécures. le premier jour est assez calme pour rejoindre le lodge, le deuxième, un peu plus musclé, mais pas trop quand même. L'endroit est magnifique et le final très sympathique.

Comida y servicio excelente

Hemos pasado unos días maravillosos! Un excelente servicio de nuestro guía Roy y la comida espectacular!!! Nunca he probado unos frijoles tan ricos y lo mejor patacones con frijoles, uuufff!! Lo mejor. Felicidades a todo el staff. Saludos desde México.

Génial, pas d'autre mot!!

Nous avons démarré notre séjour au Costa Rica par 2 jours avec Rios Tropicales, qu'elle entrée en matière!! Prise en main parfaite, organisation nickel, repas au centre excellents, professionnalisme de tous les intervenants, hôtel splendide (mais pas d'eau chaude... dur!)... Jorge notre guide a été super, sécurisant et intarissable sur le Costa Rica, sa faune et sa flore! Pura Vida chicos! Amazing 2-days trip with Rios Tropicales, everything has been perfect. Organisation, safety, meals, hotel, explanations... Our guide Jorge was perfect!! Thanks guys!

Increible experiencia!!!! Gracias Enzo!!!

Buenas tardes, Hace un par de semanas que estuvimos mi reciente marido y yo de luna de miel y estuvimos en Rios Tropicales dos noches e hicimos rafting dos días en el río Pacuare. La verdad es que íbamos un poco a ciegas ya que no sabíamos muy bien lo que nos íbamos a encontrar. Al principio me dio respeto el tema del rafting, pero finalmente fue increíble. Tenemos que dar las gracias a ENZO que fue nuestro guía desde el viernes hasta el domingo, y es con quien hicimos el rafting,el que nos cocinó en el lodge y quien nos llevó a hacer las excursiones. Se portó super bien con nosotros, nos hizo sentir como en casa y calmó nuestras inquietudes respecto al rafting. Nos enseñó el lado más salvaje y bonito de Costa Rica. Quiero darle las gracias especialmente por rescatar a mi marido cuando se cayó al agua en uno de los rápidos. Fue un momento muy tenso y él supo reaccionar de maravilla, con calma, rapidez y decisión! Un profesional! A parte, decir que nos cocinó muy bien (y lo decimos con conocimiento porque mi marido es chef!) y, además, era comida típica de allí y fue en el destino durante nuestro recorrido por Costa Rica donde más pudimos disfrutar y conocer los sabores costarricenses. También dar las gracias a Diego que estuvo sólo la primera noche con nosotros y fue muy amable y también nos cocinó muy bien! En cuanto a las excursiones, fue increíble, nos encantaron. Enzo respetó, sin pedírselo, nuestros tiempos e hizo muy amenas las caminatas explicándonos todo lo que íbamos viendo. Estuvimos en un tobogán natural y en una cascada, donde pudimos disfrutar con tranquilidad del agua, del paisaje y del entorno que nos rodeaba. Nos sentimos muy seguros a pesar de ser plena 'selva'. En conclusión, para nosotros fue el mejor destino de todo nuestro viaje, días sin conexión al exterior pero conectados con la naturaleza y conviviendo con los animales de la zona. El rafting, todo y que fue duro y para mí un poco arriesgado (soy muy miedosa), lo disfruté al máximo ya que era inevitable no hacerlo, la adrenalina se hizo mi fiel compañera y me rendí a los increíbles paisajes que nos envolvían. Gracias Enzo, de nuevo, porque sin ti no hubiéramos disfrutado ni la mitad de lo que lo hicimos, ni hubiera sido la mejor experiencia de nuestra vidas. Un saludo, Sandra y Kiku

Great Adventure

Είχαμε κλείσει με το γκρουπ μας μία εκδρομή στο ποταμό Pacuare. Φτάσαμε στο σημείο συνάντησης όπου εκεί μας περίμενε ένας μπουφέ με δυναμωτικό πρωινό. Αφού τελειώσαμε ξεκινήσαμε για το ποτάμι. Κατά τη διαδρομή ο αρχηγός μας έδινε οδηγίες και σημαντικές πληροφορίες για το χειρισμό δύσκολων καταστάσεων στο ποτάμι. Στο σημείο εκκίνησης στο ποτάμι μας δόθηκε όλος ο απαραίτητος εξοπλισμός και χωριστήκαμε σε ομάδες για τις βάρκες. Ξεκινήσαμε προς την περιπέτεια 4 ωρών μέσα σε απερίγραπτα όμορφα τοπία. Ο οδηγός μας καθησυχαστικός και μέσα στο κέφι. Μας εξηγούσε συνέχεια τι βλέπουμε τριγύρω και μας καθοδηγούμε στο κουπί επαρκώς. Μετά απο 2.30 ώρες κουπί βουτιές στο ποτάμι και πολλά γέλια σταματήσαμε σε ένα σημείο του ποταμού και με απλές κινήσεις οι αρχηγοί όλων των βαρκών ετοίμασαν ένα μπουφέ με μεσημεριανό φαγητό δίνοντας προτεραιότητα στις γυναίκες... Πολύ σημαντικό είναι πως υπήρχε πάντα δίπλα μας ένα κανό έτοιμο να αρπάξει οποιον τύχαινε να πεταχτεί έξω απο τη βάρκα (όταν σε άλλες παρόμοιες δραστηριότητες σε άλλες περιοχές δεν υπάρχει). Το τελευταίο κερασάκι στη τούρτα που θα μας κάνει να μας μείνει αξέχαστη η εμπειρία ειναι πως υπήρχε φωτογράφος σε όλη τη διαδρομή και προλάβαινε κάθε μία βάρκα. Αποτέλεσμα να λάβουμε ένα σετ απο τουλάχιστον 100 φωτογραφίες ο καθένας μας που αφορούσε μόνο τη βάρκα του με ένα μικρό κόστος θα έλεγα για τη ποιότητα δουλείας και τη δυσκολία που είχε αναλάβει ο συγκεκριμένος άνθρωπος Θα το συνιστούσα 1000%.

Une expérience inroyable !

Ce fut 2 jours incroyables, notre premier rafting ! L'expérience de rejoindre le lodge après une première descente en rafting et très sympa, et le lodge et magnifique, au milieu de la forêt tropicales. Les employées sont particulièrement sympa, et le repas préparés par les moniteurs de rafting étaient au top et donnait une ambiance très amicale. Les chambres sont grandes et très agréables. Le rafting était génial sur la rivière Pacuare, une super expérience !

Se pasó!

Excelente experiencia y tremenda organización! Agradecimientos especiales a nuestro gran guía Sasi, quien no sólo nos llevó por los mejores rápidos del rio Pacuare sino que también por los hermosos senderos cercanos al lodge y las cascadas. Ni mencionar las deliciosas comidas y desayunos que nos prepararon con tanta dedicación. 100% recomendable!

El mejor tour en la jungla.

La mejor experiencia en contacto total con la naturaleza, el estar desconectados del mundo exterior lo hace todavía mucho mejor, cualquier amante de la naturaleza la pasará muy tuani, el mejor guía Sacy siempre alegre atento y paciente. Tienen que vivir esta experiencia única. Pura Vida!!!!🤙🏻🤙🏻
