context_section_description: Pejibaye has a growing tourist industry. A small group of bed and breakfasts have sprung up to serve local tourists from neighboring towns who regularly come to Pejibaye for rafting on the Pejibaye river. The river itself has class 2 and 3 rapids, and the town has recently been the site of the Costa Rica National Rafting Competition.  Nearby, Pacuare river also has class 4 and 5 rafting for more experienced adventure tourists.  The surrounding area is home to six different waterfalls, as well as La Marta Wildlife Refuge and Tapantí National Park, which are home to several Costa Rican species of large cats.  Regular hiking, bicycle, and horse back riding tours of the cloud forest can be found in Pejibaye as well.
