Day 2San José – Arenal / la Fortuna — Rafting On the Pacuare River

An epic journey down one of the world's most spectacular rivers, where adventure and pristine nature combine in a single unforgettable day. Navigate 18 miles and 52 Class II-III rapids through the majestic Pacuare Gorge, featuring legendary sections such as Terciopelo Snake and Double Drop, while toucans, sloths, and morpho butterflies accompany you from the tropical rainforest. Midway through the run, the Huacas waterfall plunges 150 feet beside the river, leaving you breathless.
