We took the 2-day rafting tour with Tropical Rivers, and this experience will stay with us for a long time. For the three if us, it was the first time rafting, and the guides made us feel safe and well guided at all times. The ride through the pristine canyons of the Pacuare river were breathtaking - you are surrounded by the untouched beauty of the rainforest while floating on the turquoise river that varies between wide and narrow, gentle and wild. At times we hopped off the rafts to float along and enjoy the water and the views. The lodge is absolutely lovely - basic in its amenities, but an oasis of nature, sounds and views. You can hike around the lodge and discover waterfalls, trails and creatures, and the fact that there is no WiFi immediately has a calming and grounding effect. At the same time, the meals are delicious, we got a fabulous home made sangria for happy hour, and everything is freshly prepared for you with care and attention. What made all of this extra special was the wonderful staff - on the river as well as at the lodge. The team of people taking care of us was friendly, helpful and fun to be with at all times. The river guides were also highly professional - Max and Carlos had our trust and confidence even when the raft spun or turned, or the course did not confirm to "Plan A"...thank you to all of the fantastic people involved in this adventure for making our 2 days absolutely unforgettable. Will do again for sure in the future!

This experience was absolutely amazing! The scenery of the rafting was beautiful and untouched. During rafting we stopped several times and walked to see some amazing waterfalls and pools. We could see the day trip rafters floating by without seeing these incredible spots. Our guide Max was so knowledgeable and told us everything about the wildlife and the plants we saw. The lodge is absolutely beautiful and looks better in real life compared to the online photos. The food was plentiful and so good! Nothing compares to waking up in the jungle! This was definitely the highlight of our Costa Rica trip!!

Increíble experiencia en la selva del Pacuare. Christopher nos atendió estupendamente todo el rato, nos llevó a una cascada preciosa y nos contaba muchas cosas. Luego la bajada haciendo rafting con el monitor Raúl fue alucinante, muy recomendable. Nos llevamos un recuerdo maravilloso. Mil gracias y pura vida!

Es una experiencia única que combina deporte aventura en uno de los cinco mejores ríos en el mundo para hacer Rafting, el río Pacuare, y la posibilidad de dormir en el corazón del bosque lluvioso. De las mejores actividades que hemos realizado nunca. Muchísimas gracias a los guías Diego, Michele y Pancho! Y a todo el staff de Tropical Rivers. Excelentes profesionales y mejor gente. Muy buena organización, y un estupendo ambiente en el lodge.

Ha sido una experiencia inolvidable. Alojamiento limpio y aseado. Gustavo y Raul han estado atentisimos y han cocinado para nosotros super bien. Desayuno completisimo (fruta fresca, revuelto, empanadillas caseras, tostadas, cafe..) y además del rafting impresionante, las explicaciones de la flora, fauna e historia del entorno del río Pacuare nos encantaron. Sin duda repetiriamos con ellos de nuevo! Escogimos alargar el viaje un día noche más por recomendación de unos amigos y no nos decepcionaron
