The lead’s name, “Pacuare River Rafting Expedition,” is not the exact official page title. The matching offering by the intended operator is titled “Pacuare 1-day trip” (also called “Pacuare River 1-day expedition” on the page). Page details vary slightly: the summary lists 38 rapids while descriptive text says 52. The discrepancy is not repeated as a verified trip count.
