Waterfall Tour with Rappelling

A half-day adventure from La Fortuna that combines rappelling with the beauty of Costa Rican waterfalls, led by guides who take the time to make you feel at ease.

Person rappelling down beside a waterfall into a rocky jungle canyon
Duration
4 hours
Difficulty
Moderate

If you've ever wanted to see a waterfall from the inside of the canyon rather than from a viewpoint, this tour is for you. Starting from La Fortuna, you'll spend about four hours combining the thrill of rappelling with the beauty of Costa Rica's waterfalls and the green rainforest around them.

Your guide fits you with the equipment you need, explains each step and stays close as you lower yourself down the rock beside the falling water. There's time to take in the sound of the river, the spray and the jungle on every side. We go at a pace that feels right for your group, so first-timers and experienced adventurers can both enjoy the day.

This is a moderate tour, best for travelers who are comfortable with some physical effort and a little height. If you're not sure whether it's right for you or someone in your group, message Wilson and Elsy on WhatsApp and we'll give you an honest answer, or suggest another way to enjoy the waterfalls. Guides speak English and Spanish, and tours in French or German can be arranged with advance notice.
