The first rappel drops you into the roar of the falls — cool spray against your face, a narrow gorge framed by dark volcanic rock and thick, green foliage. Guides clip you in, talk through the descent, and you step out over a drop that narrows into a turquoise pool below. The route threads three technical rappels (10–25 m), a natural zipline and optional cliff jumps across roughly 3 km of trail with about 125 m of cumulative elevation gain.

Wear closed-toe grippy shoes

Bring a small dry bag
Guides provide a waterproof phone pouch, but a personal dry bag keeps snacks and spare layers dry between rappels.
Hydrate before and after
Tropical heat plus physical exertion requires pre-trip hydration and a refillable water bottle for the breaks.

All technical moves are explained and practiced — follow instructions exactly; hiking bypasses exist for every rappel.
