The Pacuare River is world famous for its breathtaking beauty. It is a true river gorge, flanked by steep walls covered with lush vegetation. Here you will experience a sense of total isolation from urban life and a unique connection with nature. As you travel along the river, you will see waterfalls cascading down from both sides and colorful tropical birds flying overhead. As you go along, breathtaking landscapes of virgin jungle will appear before your eyes, making this journey a true adventure of exploration. Wildlife is abundant: it is common to spot sloths, toucans, parrots, coatis, morpho butterflies and colorful frogs.

It is not an overly challenging river, but has numerous rapids that guarantee an adrenaline-filled and fun-filled experience. The day trip covers 18 miles and includes a total of 52 rapids, something that few rivers in the world can offer.

Upon arrival at the starting point, you will be equipped with a life jacket, helmet and paddle. You will then receive a complete safety and paddling techniques briefing, and finally, it's time to set off on an adventure down the rapids of the Pacuare River!

The first 4 miles of the course are made up of exciting class II-III rapids, the perfect stretch to practice your new water skills and gain confidence in your equipment.
