Reventazón River: Pascua Section

Here is the White Water trip of your dreams. Pascua is a classic big water run, guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat, literally!

After paddling the Pascua section of the Reventazon River, adventurers agree that these are the best rapids they have conquered. A classic, big water run, Pascua is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat, literally! And when we say big, well, we will let you decide what exactly our definition of big means. For example, some of the waves on this run are bigger than the raft.

Rapids like "Dirty Mind", "The Abyss", "Indigestion" and "Horrendito" are among the fifteen class IV rapids you will run. While basking in the excitement of the adventure, one will also have the opportunity to notice the scenery and how complimentary it is in its sheer beauty. There is a variety of big mountain landscapes which include superb views of the nearby Turrialba Volcano (3234 msnm).

This 24 km run (15 miles) takes about three hours which includes lunch on the river.
