The group will meet at the lobby of the hotel where they will meet the staff from the canyoning company. The tour begins with a 30-minute, 4x4 drive into the tropical rainforest outside the town of La Fortuna, in the shadow of the Arenal Volcano. After arriving at the park, the group will meet for basic canyoning instructions and to receive the required safety gear.
You will then trek for about 20 minutes through the forest on trails that lead to some of the most spectacular waterfalls in Costa Rica, a place very few people get to experience. Along the way you will have the chance to discover the secrets that lie hidden deep within the canyon. This is a great opportunity to spot rare wildlife, local to the region, which includes exotic tropical birds, howler monkeys and coatimundis.
The group will arrive at the site and prepare for the adventure. From the first waterfall, rappel down from the top into the beautiful and pristine canyon below. The adventure includes four rappels, three of which are along waterfalls, and one dry rock face. Then, it is just a short trek out of the canyon, and head back to the base camp. Enjoy the short drive back to Tabacon, and spend the afternoon relaxing in the hot springs.
No canyoning or rappelling experience is required. Participants usually get wet during this trek, so come prepared with additional clothes and adequate shoes. |
