Combine high-elevation zip lines over Arenal’s rainforest with waterfall rappels in a volcanic canyon. This full-day Pure Trek combo blends adrenaline, local lunch, and guided river descents for an immersive Arenal experience.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from the van onto humid air heavy with green — tree crowns brushing the sky above the launch platform, a far-off waterfall calling like a promise. The zip lines take you 600 feet above the forest floor, wind tugging at your harness as the canopy slides beneath; later the canyon will pull at you with ropes, slick rock, and a river daring you to descend.

History
Arenal’s explosive 1968 eruption reshaped valleys and created steep canyons and fresh lava soils — those geological changes made the canyoning terrain you descend today.
Conservation
Operators emphasize Leave No Trace practices and often support local reforestation; use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid introducing soaps into streams.
