During your stay at Pacuare Lodge you will have the opportunity to experience and learn about the Cabecar tribe in a non invasive way that respects their privacy. At the start of the day your private guide will lead you on a moderate 90 minute hike through the rainforest to observe the flora and fauna of the area and discover a hidden waterfall. Upon arriving to the Rancho (a type of traditional, thatched roof community house) you will have the opportunity to speak to a local shaman who will provide an introduction to the customs and culture of the Cabecar.
