The Upper Pacuare is the most difficult section of Pacuare River. This kayaking trip will be a 9 mile river descent in class III, IV / V. There are many technical rapids with steep drops in this jungle canyon. Hydraulic Blood, Entrance to Bobo, and the Bobo Fall are the major class V rapids on this section. However, you can walk around them in case you feel unsure. The rest of this kayaking section is class III / IV with incredible jungle scenery, wildlife, and clear warm water that makes this river a kayaker’s paradise.
