(Redirected from Rio Pacuare)
Pacuare River
The 'Pacuare River', or the 'Río Pacuare', in
Costa Rica has its source in the
Cordillera de Talamanca and flows approximately 108 km to the
Caribbean. It is a popular location for
white water rafting and
riverboarding has been named one of the top 10 river trips in the world by
National Geographic. The rainforests that surround the river are breathtaking and they are home to exotic species such as
jaguars,
monkeys,
ocelots, and a very large number of
birds.
The
Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad - Costa Rica's state-owned electricity agency - suggested in
1996 the possibility of building a
hydroelectric dam on the river. This plan was finally rejected in
2005 due to concerns about the pollution and other impacts on tourism and the ecology of the river and its surroundings.
