Description:
Once we pick you up from your hotel, youll ride in our bio-diesel bus past lovely mountain scenery to a rustic restaurant where youll enjoy a typical Costa Rican breakfast made with organic ingredients. Well then drive you to the Pacuare River put-in site, where our expert river guides will give you a quick course in white water rafting and safety before you begin your 18-mile journey down that spectacular waterway. Youll float past pristine tropical forest populated by toucans, parrots and other birds, some of which is protected in our 637-acre (258-ha.) nature reserve, where the fast-growing trees absorb more atmospheric carbon than our vehicles emit, making our tours carbon-neutral. This unforgettable river adventure combines class-II and -IV rapids with floats past breathtaking scenery that includes massive tropical trees and waterfalls that plummet into the river. We'll break for a healthy lunch by the riverbank in a traditional palm-thatch structure owned by a Cabcar Indian family, who recycles our organic waste and wash dishes so that we dont have to use disposable plates and cups. After lunch, well paddle through more adrenaline-pumping rapids and marvel at amazing scenery, such as the narrow canyon of Dos Montaas. After we reach the highway, youll be able to change into dry clothes before we begin our 90-minute drive back to San Jos. Youll also have a chance to purchase carbon-offset certificates, which finance the planting and care of native trees on deforested land that will absorb tons of atmospheric carbon as they grow, and can offset all the carbon that enters the atmosphere during your Costa Rica vacation.
