Tour Description
Day 1
Your day will start when we pick you up at your San José hotel in one of our comfortable minibuses for a scenic ride to the beautiful Reventazón River. You'll stop along the way for a traditional, Costa Rican-style breakfast, and then continue on to the put-in at the Reventazón. Immediately engulfed in the excitement of nature unharnessed, you'll paddle through moderately flowing rapids that are interspersed with stretches of calm, gentle water where you'll have plenty of time to view the magnificent tropical scenery that surrounds you throughout the journey. After your approximately two and a half-hour trip, you lunch at a traditional-style restaurant overlooking the Reventazón Valley. Following lunch, you'll be driven to the Casa Turire Hotel, where you'll be based for the next two days.

Patterned after a classical colonial hacienda, the bright and airy Casa Turire is surrounded by sugarcane plantations, coffee fields and macadamia trees--all making for an unforgettable experience. Cool, decorative tile floors and graceful archways frame the central courtyard, while comfortable yet elegant sitting areas and a library/game parlor invite conversation and relaxing. A spring-fed swimming pool and trails around the hotel grounds that feature fruit orchards and tropical forests are at your disposal. Your spacious, luxurious room at Casa Turire includes private bathroom with tub, a balcony, telephone and satellite cable TV. Dinner in the hotel's dining room is included, offering specialties of organic vegetables and fresh fruits to round out traditional Costa Rican dishes.

Day 2
After you breakfast at Casa Turire, you'll be picked up at approximately 9:00 a.m. for your next river rafting experience: the majestic Pacuare River, which offers some of the finest white water in Latin America. This unforgettable trip will take you deep inside one of Costa Rica's most impressive primordial rainforests where you'll pass through a wilderness of dense vegetation that provides shelter to jaguars, ocelots, monkeys, sloths and numerous other species of animals and birds. You'll break for a delicious lunch served along the river's edge where you'll have a chance to marvel at the raw, pounding power of this river that has coursed through this virgin tropical rinforest for millions of years. River time is approximately four hours, depending on the water level. After the take-out at Siquirres, we'll drive you to Casa Turire where you will have some free time to explore the grounds and partake of the other amenities. Dinner is once again included.

Day 3 On your final day, after you breakfast at the hotel, you'll have the morning free to enjoy the pool and explore the landscaped gardens that abound with a multitude of exotic plants, flowers and trees and beautiful tropical birds. In addition, horseback riding is available through the hotel, as well as an informal 3-hole golf course and tennis courts. Lunch is on your own. We will pick you up from Casa Turire at approximately 2:30 p.m. for your return to your San José hotel.
