Usually, the Pacuare River is not known to be a challenging river to raft through, but the presence of rapids makes rafting on the River very exciting. While white water rafting on the Pacuare River, you'll experience the rush and ebb as you pass through the 52 rapids on the river.
As the raft starts slowing down, you'll be able to soak in the striking presence of the Huacas waterfall as it crashes into the river.

If you're feeling extremely adventurous then make sure you stop by the Arenal Hanging Bridges in at Mistico Park. Arenal is the home of 15 hanging bridges each one giving an exhilarating view of the rainforests and the Arenal Volcano.
I must warn you, the hanging bridge is not for the faint-hearted. The bridge is several meters above the ground but from that height the aerial view is impressive and totally worth seeing.
The rainforests that stretch for miles, the exotic wildlife as they move through their natural habitat and the adrenaline rush that comes from standing on that bridge make it a moment to remember.

Don't let the striking magnificence knock you off your surfboard.
