Yes, scenes from the Hunger Games were shot right here in Brevard, NC at DuPont State Recreational Forest!Let us take you on an adventure to explore the waterfalls, hills, and hideouts filmed on location in the mountain heart of NC.

Pura Vida Adventures is excited to be offering Hunger Games Tours once again due to the high demand.

“The reason we are getting such a high demand for Hunger Games Tours is two fold explains,” Joe Moerschbaecher, owner of Pura Vida Adventures. “We have been running similar tours to the Hunger Games Tours for over 6 years and our survival courses which have been very popular even before the Hunger Games existed are becoming more popular because fans are realizing many of the skills we teach in these courses are the same as those important for survival in the movie.”
Pura Vida adventures has designed two seperate tours specifically for Hunger Games fans. The first trip visits the areas of Dupont State Forest where Hunger Games was filmed. This tour provides participants with a behind the scenes look at the forest and natural surroundings that provided the setting for the Hunger Games.
