The rappelling course features 5 waterfall descents, with heights ranging from 50 to 230 feet.
This canyoning tour begins at a local farm near La Tigra, just a 30-minute drive from La Fortuna. Upon arrival, you'll receive a warm welcome from the locals. After being equipped with your harness, helmet, and gloves by the guides, we'll take a short 5-minute hike into the dense vegetation to reach our hidden canyon. Following an initial training rappel and a safety briefing from the guides, you'll begin your first descent of 50 feet. As your skills and confidence grow, you'll tackle three more rappels, each presenting unique challenges.
You will descend into a spectacular world of cascading waterfalls, secluded trails, and rocky cliffs. Rappel down sheer drops, leap into cool pools, and navigate narrow gorges (known as "La Caracola"), all while surrounded by the lush tropical rainforest.
The highlight and grand finale of this tour is the "Infinity Waterfall," a magnificent 230-foot rappel that will certify you as a professional Costa Rican rappeller.
At the conclusion of the adventure, a local family will treat you to an authentic and delicious Costa Rican lunch.

We had an amazing time canyoning! The experience was challenging but so much fun, and it was definitely worth it. Our guides, Arturo, Grey, and Gerardo, were fantastic! They were professional, encouraging, and always ready to help whenever things got difficult. They made us feel safe and supported while still making the adventure exciting and pushing us out of our comfort zones. Their positive attitudes and great guidance made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!
