Good cardiovascular fitness and comfort with scrambling, short swims, and exposure to heights are recommended
No — guides provide instruction, safety briefings, and assisted belays; some basic comfort with heights is helpful.
Wear quick‑dry clothes, closed‑toe water shoes, sunscreen, and bring a waterproof bag; the operator provides helmets and harnesses.
Not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with serious heart or spinal issues; check operator for specific age and weight limits.
Heavy rain increases water flow and slipperiness; operators may cancel in dangerous conditions for safety.
Arenal’s eruptions in the late 20th century altered nearby watersheds and created the steep canyons and raw volcanic substrates canyoning routes now cut through.
Tours operate with guides trained to minimize impact—stay on established lines, pack out waste and avoid trampling riparian vegetation to protect fragile stream habitats.
Faro Travel Costa Rica operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
