Arrival by Ground Transportation
From
San José, the trip begins between 6:00 and 7:00 a.m. in microbus,
traveling a breathtaking route through Cartago, the old capital
of Costa Rica, and continuing toward the town of Turrialba. The
two and a half hour trip then skirts the slopes of the Irazú
and Turrialba Volcanoes toward the north, and the Reventazón
River Basin and Orosí Valley toward the south. Majestic scenery
includes rolling fields of ornamental plants, sugarcane, coffee,
and macadamia, and the jungle-covered mountains of the Talamanca
Mountain Range. A stop en route is taken to enjoy a delicious traditional
breakfast and beautiful views of the town of Cervantes.
The microbus trip ends in Santa Marta, where you board a four-wheel-drive
vehicle for the remaining six-kilometer gravel road to the banks
of the Pacuare River. Views of the mountains covered by dense jungle
couldn’t be more dramatic! Advancing down the road, you plunge
ever deeper into the beauty of the zone until you arrive at the
Pacuare River, the Cábecar culture’s symbol of life.
The adventure continues as you leave the four-wheel-drive vehicle
and cross the river on a hanging gondola that carries you above
the river via a 100 meter cable running from riverbank to riverbank.
Upon arrival at the other side, another experience begins—no
more vehicles, electricity, or roads. The last 300 meters to the
Pacuare Lodge are hiked over a trail
that parallels the river. Equipment is transported by our staff,
and a refreshing cocktail awaits your arrival.
