Alex and I have been rafting together for the last 14 years. We have our own boat and between us, we have floated at least a dozen rivers across the western U.S., but never in a foreign country. That all changed on Saturday.
National Geographic has called the Pacuare River one of the ten best whitewater rivers in the world. The 18-mile lower Pacuare River includes 38 Class III and 5 Class IV rapids. The scenery is utterly stunning, surrounded by jungle and cascading waterfalls around every corner. It is also highly technical, with holes the size of VW buses just waiting to grab your boat. And it was probably the most fun we’ve had since we started our trip. We hope you enjoy this photo montage.




Thanks for sharing the pics. Your ready for the Payette in Idaho!

Very cool. Who takes the photos? Do they have another boat that floats alongside yours just to take pix?

We had a safety kayaker with us who was also the photographer. We could purchase the photos at the end.

Looks like an amazing time! Are you going to do it again? 🙂

We would love too but after another 36 straight hours of rain the rivers are flooding again.

Our Germany river cruise is almost as exciting, but a little less strenuous. Enjoy, dad

Unbelievable photos. Have done parts of Animas (Colorado), and Nantahala (NC) but nothing so exciting. I am awed! Looks like you are having quite an adventure.
