The Pacuare River goes through a protected zone in the Caribbean Basin. What great about this warm-water river is that it ranges from Class II to Class IV rapids. A ride along the Lower Pacaure starts with a few miles of easy, fun rapids and then becomes a wet and wild adventure in the Huacas River Gorge. Rios Tropicales is an operator that includes overnight stays in its rainforest eco-lodge.
