Operated by The Park at Ocean Ranch · Jaco, Puntarenas
You start with the engine’s rumble under a cloud of humid air and the forest closing in: palms and ceiba trees lean over narrow trails while the scent of wet earth rises with every turn.
This five-hour combo in the Ocean Ranch Park outside Jaco stitches three distinct adrenaline beats — a 1.5-hour off-road ATV ride through secondary rainforest, a multi-line zipline course totaling over 2,000 meters, and a wet, technical rappel down El Encanto, a roughly 180-foot (≈55 m) waterfall. The landscape is volcanic in origin; weathered basalt and red soils feed the rivers that carved the gorge where the fall plunges. Local guides are typically from Puntarenas province and share quick notes about coffee plantations, banana farms, and the area’s transition from coastal settlements to tourism economy.
Expect the day to move fast: motorized trails that kick up dust, then the sudden hush of the canopy at the zip platforms, and finally the sound of water rushing at the rappel base. The operators provide helmets, harnesses, and basic instruction — but bring footwear that sticks, a quick-dry layer, and a waterproof phone case.
Practical nuts and bolts: plan for a 5-hour window, wear closed-toe shoes, and leave loose jewelry behind. The route can get slippery; hydration and sunscreen are essential in the tropical sun. If you need hotel pickup, confirm exact times when you book (the provider asks for a preferred window between 8:00–17:00). Whether you’re chasing speed on an ATV or steadying yourself against a torrent on rope, this combo delivers varied terrain and a compact taste of Pacific Costa Rica’s wild side.
No—guides provide instruction for ATVs and rappelling; basic comfort with outdoor activities is sufficient.
The advertised descent is approximately 180 feet (about 55 meters); guides equip participants with full belay systems and brief training.
Children can join if accompanied by an adult, but age and weight limits may apply—confirm with the operator when booking.
Cancel at least 24 hours before departure for a full refund; provide a preferred pickup window between 8:00–17:00 and confirm exact pickup details after booking.
