Going to Pacuare, an adventure to prepare for…
Along the Pacuare River, several lodges have taken up residence. All are accessible only by raft, or on foot for good walkers.
Below, we recommend that you pack for this 2 or 3-day adventure the right way.
Going to Pacuare Lodge, Tropical Rivers, Pacuare River Lodge…
What not to forget
You must have a bag or suitcase weighing no more than 11 kg and measuring no more than 21′ x 16′ x 7′. Any luggage exceeding this size will not be accepted by the lodge. All other luggage will be stored in a guarded locker, which you will retrieve at the end of your stay. It’s best to take valuables with you.
Nota Bene: If you leave for Pacuare the day after your arrival, we recommend that you travel with the same suitcase in the cabin.
