After a delicious breakfast at the hotel, we'll head to the Pacuare River. We have a section of the river we use with younger children, and it is a great day of staying wet, relishing nature, and feeling like we are the only raft on the river as your trip is privately operated by your CRR guides. We try to avoid the crowds of the famous Pacuare River. We will make some waterfall hikes and enjoy the day in the sun.
In the evening we will return to Casa Turire where you can relax in the pool or on the dock of the lake taking in the views of the surrounding mountains. We also have the option of a dinner in a local village where you get a home-cooked delicious meal and meet some of the local lifestyle and friends we have in the area. (Meals: Breakfast & Lunch)

It's just minutes away from the hotel and is a picturesque waterfall that is not visited by herds of tourists.
