The day, in short
Around nineteen miles of warm, fast water down the Pacuare, one of the most beautiful rivers in Central America, with waterfalls pouring straight into the canyon.
The river runs beside the Talamanca range, home of the Cabécar people, through forest where toucans, parrots and monkeys watch you go by. Breakfast and lunch are part of the day.
