Wind pushes through the canopy like an impatient crowd as participants clip in and step off the platform. The first cable takes you hurtling over a river canyon, the air opening up beneath your chest; the waterfalls that punctuate the gorge seem to lean toward you, daring you to keep going. From the highest platform—nearly 987 meters above sea level—the Gulf of Nicoya glitters on the horizon, a string of islands and the Pacific shimmering beyond the treeline.

Adventure Tips
Wear closed‑toe, grippy shoes
Platforms and the 4x4 approach are uneven and slippery—trail runners or sturdy sneakers are best.
Bring a towel and swimsuit
You’ll have the option to swim in the waterfall pool after the tour—pack a quick‑dry towel and swimwear under your clothes.
Expect changing weather
Afternoon showers are common during the green season—carry a lightweight rain shell and protect electronics in waterproof bags.
Arrive early for pickups
If you’ve arranged hotel transport, be ready 60 minutes before departure; remote pickups may add travel time.
