Overview
Pure Trek Canyoning: Our Favorite Pick for Classic Waterfall Rappelling and Pure Adrenaline
If you want a world-class rappelling experience that has been dialed in to absolute perfection over two decades, this is the one we always recommend to our guests. Pure Trek is practically an institution in La Fortuna when it comes to canyoning, and they earn that reputation every single day by combining high-end safety standards with an insanely fun, high-energy course.
You don't need any prior rappelling experience; you just need to show up ready to trust your gear, get completely soaked under roaring waterfalls, and laugh your way through the canyon.
What to Know Before You Go
- Who is it for?: Perfect for thrill-seekers, couples, and families (kids 5 and up are welcome) who want a safe, deeply immersive rainforest canyon experience without feeling rushed.
- The main highlight: The complete obstacle course of the canyon. You’ll tackle 4 rappels in total (3 down cascading waterfalls and 1 down a rock wall), do some rock climbing, and face the legendary Monkey Drop (a fun, heart-pumping line that drops you right into the heart of the jungle).
- What others won't tell you (And we will): Your arms and legs will definitely get a workout, and you will be dripping wet from head to toe within the first few minutes. If you have severe mobility limitations or intense vertigo, take it slow; otherwise, the professional guides will coach you step-by-step so you feel completely secure.
Tour Details
- Duration: Half-day (approx. 4 hours total, including transfers and lunch).
- What's included: Round-trip hotel transportation in modern, air-conditioned vans, a bumpy 4x4 rainforest truck ride to the drop-in point, certified bilingual guides, top-tier safety gear, towels to dry off, and a delicious, freshly prepared traditional casado lunch (with vegetarian and vegan options) back at their headquarters.
- What we suggest bringing: Secure water shoes or sneakers that can get wet, quick-dry activewear, and a full change of dry clothes for the ride back.
How to Fit This Into Your Day (The Ultimate Full-Day Adventure)
Since this tour runs as a half-day trip (with morning and afternoon departures), it leaves plenty of room in your schedule. For our guests who want an action-packed day, you can easily pair this morning canyoning session with an afternoon of whitewater rafting or a relaxing soak in the hot springs!
