Thank you for scheduling that for us!" Sharon Braddy & Family. June 2017 |
If you dream about rafting on a wild tropical river, the Pacuare is it! Rated one of the top rivers in the world. You'll experience the intimate nature of the rain forest via the river. The warm water, cascading waterfalls, and opulently lush rain forest with brilliantly colored plants, and hiding animals and birds - it all makes this trip exquisite for your senses.

You will enjoy an adrenaline-packed afternoon running the Pacuare's biggest rapids, with names like Upper and Lower Huacas, Cimarron, Dos Montañas and more. At the take-out, our short drive back to the white water rafting operations center you to a hearty and delicious lunch, showers, optional drinks and a handy souvenir store.
