The Pacuare Protected Zone
In
the Atlantic region of Costa Rica there is an area of incomparable
beauty that begins near the town of Siquirres and covers approximately
25,000 acres as it descends down the Talamanca Mountain Range. This
is the area known as the Pacuare Protected Zone, which constitutes
one of the most important protected areas in Costa Rica. High annual
rainfall, along with its proximity to the lowlands, combine to nurture
the complex life systems whose abundance make for extraordinary
scenic beauty.
The Pacuare River, located within this zone, offers some of the
finest white water in Latin America. Officially designated a “Wild
and Scenic River,” the water flows deep inside remarkable
primordial rainforest, coursing through a wilderness of dense
vegetation that covers the sides of steep gorges rising above
the riverbanks. The rainforest’s thick undergrowth provides
shelter to jaguars, ocelots, monkeys, sloths, and numerous other
species of mammals and birds.
Deep inside the Pacuare Protected Zone, perched on the banks
of this enchanting river, lies the singular Pacuare
Lodge.
