We had a great time rafting to and from Rios Lodge. Christopher was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. The river is beautiful, and the rapids are exciting but felt safe in the lowish waters of May. Wear sunscreen on your legs-- especially knees-- pack a towel for when you change after, and bring a waterproof camera.

Fantastic rafting down the Pacuare River! Our trip was part of a tour that included a stay over midway at the Tropical River Lodge, which added a bit of relaxation to the excursion. When we went the day was hot and the water warm, so getting wet was part of the fun. Be prepared to get splashed alot. Follow the recommendations for what to wear, and you'll be fine.
Our guide Ariane was great fun and always in control of the boat. We felt safe, even at the river's roughest. We'd do it again in a flash!
