Bajos del Tigre, Río Pacuare, 30501 Bajo Tigre, Costa Rica –

Lock in a great price for Pacuare River Lodge – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Great staff!! And being surrounded by young people from all over the world, bright and optimistic, interacting with them over meals and rafting - really priceless!!

Michael, United States of America

We had an amazing time here. Johanna was very helpful in setting up our trip including transportation. We Rafted in with Louis as our Guide. He was very polite and accommodating. After lunch we did the ziplining over the canyon which was amazing. It’s a good amount of cardio hiking there so make sure you are in decent shape if you’re not a teenager anymore. The hike through the jungle was great though. After that we went back for happy hour and dinner. The food was excellent, and the rest of the staff was extremely nice and accommodating. They cooked some of the best food we had in all of Costa Rica. The next day after a great breakfast, we rafted out which was tons of fun! I would do it again in a heartbeat! I've never seen our 17-year-old smile so much in her life. Oh and the showers are private. Not sure why others said differently. Everything was very clean too!

Mike, United States of America

Very remote, romantic & simple. Quiet & relaxing just what we wanted. We loved the customer service and staff. They were very accommodating and worked with our special requests. Fantastic experience

Jamie, United States of America

Real nature experience! The environment around the lodge is so beautiful! The rafting was super, especially with instructor Mau, who learns you how to raft real quick, takes care of the safety and is funny. Good fresh food! Very friendly staff.

Einfache, aber sehr ruhige, schöne und wunderbar in Hang eingebettete Anlage

Luan, Switzerland

Het kleine stukje dat we per raft van de auto naar het kamp hebben afgelegd. De jonge gidsen waren top.

Linda, Belgium

Das essen war super, unser Guide Moses können wir nur weiter empfehlen, er war unser Privater Guide. Die Ruhe, der Ausblick auf den Paquare River war fantastisch.
