Rainforest Falls Canyoning – Pure Trek

The Rainforest Falls tour by Pure Trek is one of the original waterfall canyoning experiences in La Fortuna — a 4-hour adventure that combines five waterfall rappels, a natural rock climbing wall and a rope-guided river descent through pristine primary rainforest at the base of the Arenal Volcano. The signature descent drops 165 feet (50 meters) directly through an active waterfall, and the sequence of shorter walls before it lets first-timers build confidence in real conditions before the big one. Certified bilingual guides run a full ground-school briefing on technique, safety systems and paddle communication before the first rappel, and the top-tier equipment (harness, helmet, gloves, backup device, descender) is inspected in front of you. Between rappels you hike short sections of forested trail with realistic chances of toucans, motmots, and poison-dart frogs — Pure Trek's lodge sits inside a private reserve that has actively protected the surrounding forest for over a decade. The tour finishes with a full traditional Costa Rican lunch (casado) at the on-site lodge, with vegetarian options available. Rack rate includes 13% VAT. Ages 10+; good general fitness required, no prior canyoning experience needed. The best introduction to waterfall rappelling in the region.
