Description
Born in the foothill of Cordillera
de Talamanca, extended throughout the Jiménez canton and surrounded
by the picturesque Tucurrique and Pejibaye towns is the beautiful
Pejibaye river, one of the most important natural areas in
this region due to its crystalline water and its rain forest.
It is adequate for rafting as people of any age can enjoy
completely by mixing adrenaline with landscape beauty. ”
The tour starts in Alajuela,
crossing San José and the Cartago province (the first capital
of the country); we take a look at the Apóstol Santiago Ruins
and the Los Ángeles Virgin Bassilica that keeps Los Ángeles
Virgin, the Costa Rican Patron. Immediately, we arrive at
Sanchirí Restaurant and Mirador in Paraíso de Cartago for
an excellent typical breakfast. Then, we continue to the Pejibaye
town crossing the Cachí Hydroelectric Dam (the first in our
country) and observe plantations of “chayotes”, “pejibayes”,
ferns and coffee as well as the majestic Velo de Novia waterfall.
At around 9:30 a.m. we meet
the rest of the team in Taus, a town where rafting guides
and kayakers deliver life jackets, helmets and paddles. They
will be waiting for you enthusiastically to offer a day full
of emotions through the water of this wonderful river. They
will also give a safety speech and once you are prepared into
the boat, your life adventure is about to start!
The section of the Pejibaye
river has class II and III rafting ideal for nature lover
adventurers and for family joy. During the two hour journey
you can admire a great variety of birds like: toucans, herons
and cormorants, and the end of the journey will be a peaceful
rest crossing La Angostura Dam lake in Turrialba, where we
can leave the paddles and enjoy the beautiful site. We will
dock beside the lake for a shower, change clothes and transportation
to Sanchirí
Restaurant & Mirador crossing Turrialba. Their personnel
will be waiting for us with a delicious lunch and then, we
will return to San José using the same departure route.
