What to do at Pacuare Lodge?
We recommend our clients spend three nights at Pacuare Lodge.
Rafting in and out of the lodge is a highlight at Pacuare and something all guests are encouraged to do. The river is surrounded by rugged canyons and dense jungle, and the rapids are unrivalled.
Whilst at the lodge, guests can also enjoy hikes to waterfalls, an impressive canopy circuit, canyoning, birding, and trekking.
Map & location
Pacuare Lodge is located within 25,000 acres of protected jungle on the banks of the Rio Pacuare.
There are a couple of options of how to get to Pacuare from San Jose. The first, drive for approximately two hours and then continue in a jeep for the final part of the journey which is off road through dense jungle. The second option is to drive for approximately two hours and then white water raft down the Rio Pacuare for 90 minutes to the lodge.
When to Travel
Pacuare Lodge can be visited year round, but we recommend travelling between November and April for the best chance of sunshine. September and October are good months to avoid as rainfall can be particularly strong.
