About

The Canyon Canopy Tour is the most dynamic Canopy tour in Costa Rica because it combines more than just the zip lines. The Canyon Canopy Tour includes rappelling, rock climbing, Tarzan swing and hanging bridges, all set in the majestic canyon made by the erosion of the Blanco River for millions of years.

Then for the relaxation time, you will enjoy a volcanic mud bath and thermal hot springs. This unique attraction is surrounded by forest and adjacent to the Rio Negro River. The water and the volcanic mud are believed to have healing properties; at the very least it makes you feel good smearing around from head to toe!
