We had a trio of PHD volcanologists raft the Pacuare this month. They are working at Cloumbia University, the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. Philipp Ruprecht wrote: Hi Lee, thanks again for a great trip down the Pacuare. I'll definitely recommend you guys! Cheers.
Miss Katie De Witt organized the June 11th. Pacuare river adventure for her and her 24 "Compañeros", a great time was had by all. We also had a teacher from München, Germany working in Costa Rica join the group. Veronika Bauer wrote: "I'm shurely not the only one today, {who feeels this way}: That was AWESOME! Thank you so much for organizing the trip. Lunch was great. Thank you, thank you, thank you." Dankeschoen, liebe Gruesse.
We found this article about Turrialba in Rough Guide today. We agree with their observation that
"scenic Río Pacuaré is the pick of the bunch; regarded as one of the top five rafting rivers in the world, its class III and IV rapids gush between banks laden with primary jungle"
The Lonely Planet website ran a short article about Turrialba. They mention how the town decided to take a more laid-back lifestyle over a frantic rush towards being a huge tourist area. We think it was a good decision!
In the guide book they also say some nice things about Loco's [all true]. also check out their "chat room" and "bulletin board" for recent comments about our rafting tours.
The New York Times ran an article about Costa Rica ecotourism vacations today, and prominently mentioned Rio Locos and our guide Chalo. You can read the article here.
