I did an overnight trip on the Pacuare River with 2 days of rafting. The guide picked me up at the hotel exactly on time. There was a stop for a filling breakfast at their operations center where there was also a large clean change room (with showers, sinks, toilets) before heading to the river. Most people took a backpack... More

Went on a trip with Rios Tropicales today down the river Saraquipi and it was great fun! Our guide Enzo was skilled & very knowledgeable and the views of the river along the tour were stunning! The tour would have been much better in a few weeks when the water levels are higher but this was the only day we... More

Rios Tropicales is a first-class rafting outfitter: organized, friendly and nothing but first-class guides & support. Highly recommended

My big concern with booking a rafting excursion in early April was that the river would be too slow due to the lack of rain; however, it was awesome!! As for Rios Tropicales; these guys are true professionals that know exactly what to do in the rapids. I highly recommend my raft guide Ray.

We took this tour only because our car trip from San Jose took longer than expected, which caused us to cancel another event. But the idea of a quiet, twilight float trip to view wildlife had instant appeal. Our family of five and another family of four met our guides (Diego and a colleague) at The Lost Iguana and proceeded... More

They picked us up from San Jose and drove us hours to our destination past the cloud forest and towards the carribbean side! Upon arrival we were greeted with breakfast and clean restroom facilities. Gallo pinto round two for us as we already had our breakfast at the radisson hotel in san jose. After enjoying breakfast, we are on route... More

Rio Tropicales' trip on the Pacuare river was fantastic. My husband and I did a three day trip with two nights at the Tropicales Lodge! It was magical. The river guides work around the clock with excellent hospitality to give you a good time. Plenty of wet fun on the river, then they become your cooks and servers along the... More

Having a lifetime of river rafting experiences, I need to say that this was the BEST. For scenery, the BEST. The staff, the BEST. Safety, the BEST. The rapids, the BEST. One day on the river is not enough, but until I rafted with them and found people were doing 5 days by staying in San Jose, it never really... More

My boyfriend and I went on a three day rafting trip on the Pacuare river. The first day we rafted to their lodge that's nestled in the jungle, right along the river. The second day we hiked to nearby waterfalls, went zip lining, relaxed in the hammocks that overlook the river, and repelled down a waterfall. The third day we... More
