Pacuare Canyon

Day 1 --- Arrive and Travel to La Condesa Hotel (La Condesa)

Today you will be met at the airport with your private CRR guides and transportation. We will make our way to the La Condesa Hotel where we will be staying for the first night. This is a large hotel located on the Barva Volcano just outside of the Central Valley headed to the Caribbean side allowing us easy access for our day 2 adventure on the Pacuare River.

We will gather the group for an evening orientation introducing them to the staff and going over different rules for the week to keep everyone having fun and safe from start to finish. (Meals: Dinner)

Day 2 --- Enter Pacuare River (Pacuare River Lodge)

Pacuare Tent Lodge

Today we will get an early start after breakfast and drive through one of Costa Rica's most scenic Naitonal Parks. The Braulio Carrillo is over 40,000 acres and filled with untouched pristine rainforest as far as the eye can see. We will make our way to the spot where we begin our two day rafting adventure.

The Pacuare River is listed as one of the top 3 most scenic on the planet by National Geographic! We will spend the first day hiking to waterfalls as your CRR river guides take you through the jungle and show you different critters like poisonous dart frogs, waterfalls, and some adventurous class III rapids.

Manoa at Arenal Volcano

In the evening it will be to the tent lodge where you will get the chance to experience an area completely immersed by the natural world. During the evening we will have activities prepared for the kids to keep them engaged as we prepare an excellent meal with all local ingredients.  (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner)

Day 3 --- Rafting Pacuare Canyon & Travel to Arenal Volcano (Manoa Resort)

Today is one of the best days of rafting you will find anywhere on the planet. With the famous Pacuare Canyon and the challenging class IV rapids we will keep you wet as you enjoy some of the most enchanting waterfalls and canyons in all of the tropics.

Zipline!

After a morning of rafting and fun we will make the 4 hour drive to the Arenal Volcano. This is one of Costa Rica's most active volcanos and it is a perfect cone-shaped volcano. Here you will have awe-inspiring views from your private cabins at the Manoa Resort. When we arrive the kids will have a chance to enjoy the expansive pool area, onsite hotsprings, and an evening activity your guides have prepared for you. (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner)

Day 4 --- Zipline & Hotsprings (Manoa Resort)

With over 70 different ziplines in the country this is by far still one of our favorites. The cables are high, fast, and offer some of the most marvelous views of the Volcano and nearby Arenal Lake. These cables will have the kids ziplining 700ft above the rainforest floor.

After the zipline we will make our to the hotsprings where the kids will have the chance to enjoy the thermal waters and some of the most thrilling slides found in Costa Rica. (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner)
