Rio Pacuare, one of Central America’s premier river adventures, has a near-perfect mix of tropical forest beauty, superb whitewater, and exotic birds and animals. Within its densely vegetated canyon gorges, rafters may see jaguars, ocelots, monkeys, sloths, and a wide array of colorful birds, Pacuare’s mostly Class III whitewaters, although exciting, are humane enough to allow guests sufficient time to fully enjoy the spectacular jungle adventure.
     In addition to popular one-day trips on the Tres Equis section of the Rio Pacuare, outfitters offer two- and three-day trips with overnight camping in the jungle.
