You start on a warm Pacific morning, palms clicking in a sea breeze, as a local guide leads the van away from the coast and up into the hills where dry forest gives way to pockets of wet rainforest.
The day opens with a short visit to a village plantation to talk sugar cane and coffee — crops that shaped Guanacaste’s rural economy — before mounting horses for a steady climb. Horseback carries you along farm tracks and viewpoints where toucans call and the canopy sharpens into a layered green.
At the canopy park you clip into a zip-line circuit that runs several hundred meters between platforms, sometimes skimming the treetops and other times launching you across clearings. Adrenaline is followed by a 475‑meter waterslide that drops back toward base camp, a long, fast ribbon of water that pushes you grinning into the afternoon.
Lunch features Costa Rican staples and then the pace slows: volcanic mud masks, a waterfall rinse, and naturally heated pools that steam against the late-day air. The geology here — old volcanic soils and fractured rock — feeds hot springs and mineral-rich mud that locals have used for generations.
Practical guidance: the full itinerary runs roughly 9–10 hours and includes transport in an air-conditioned vehicle. Bring closed-toe shoes for horseback and zipline, a swimsuit and quick-dry towel for the slide and springs, sunscreen and insect repellent, and a small daypack. Expect varied terrain—farm tracks, short climbs, and platforms—so be ready for a full day of mixed activity and restorative hot-water relief at the finish.

Coffee and sugar cane plantations drove economic settlement in Guanacaste; many local farms still practice small-scale processing and family hospitality tied to that history.
The park and surrounding private reserves are sensitive—stay on trails, avoid introducing soaps into hot springs, and follow guides’ instructions to limit erosion and disturbance.
