Pacuare Outdoor Center
We started running trips in 2003
And from that point, our goal has always been to run high quality, authentic, Costa Rica adventures. With our initial focus being school groups, that’s what our business model consisted of up until the pandemic. Similar to other businesses during this time, the pause in tourism allowed us to re-evaluate our model, and what we found was that we loved working with the general public.


With travel returning in 2021
We opened our facilities and experiences to all travelers such as families, groups, and friends looking for a Costa Rica adventure vacation and we’ve been thrilled with the feedback from our guests: Our itineraries are loved by travelers and are often the highlight of their Costa Rica visit.
We believe that the foundation of a great experience is based on two items
And those are our incredible guides as well as our accommodations. Our guides are well trained, thoughtful, charismatic, (and sometimes funny) individuals who feel like family more than anything else. Our facilities, such as our new Kapu Tree House and our eco-lodges on the Pacuare River are well maintained and are the perfect complement to an adventurous day allowing you to relax and reflect.


We’re not done yet though
Being locally owned and having local guides means we are deeply involved in the trips we run and making sure that we offer the best experience possible for the Pacuare and Turrialba area. This means we are constantly fine-tuning our offerings, adding new trips, and making sure our accommodations feel like home.
