We begin the day at 7:00 a.m. During this experience, you will complete 5 rappels — 3 of them alongside waterfalls — enjoy a walk inside the river canyon with small crystalline pools, and experience 2 zip lines. Along the way, you’ll be surrounded by lush forest, offering a close connection with nature, flora, and fauna. The canyoning tour ends with a short hike of approximately 15 minutes.
After canyoning, we’ll enjoy fresh fruits and granola bars before continuing to the white water rafting adventure on the Balsa River. This rafting section covers 9 km of Class II–III rapids. At the beginning, you’ll experience the most exciting rapids and adrenaline, while the final section features calmer waters.
To complete the day, you’ll enjoy a delicious traditional Costa Rican lunch at the restaurant.
Finally, transportation will take you to the zip line tour, where the adventure begins with 5 cables for an extra adrenaline rush. You will then continue soaring through the volcano forest canopy. At the end of the tour, we will take you back to your hotel.
