Morning mist clings to the canyon rim as guides load rope bags into 4x4 trucks and the mountain air opens to a view of Arenal’s cone. Participants arrive from La Fortuna, pass through planted gardens and lockers, then walk down to a rainforest river where the day’s sequence — rappels, swims, and jumps — is explained.

Morning mist clings to the canyon rim as guides load rope bags into 4x4 trucks and the mountain air opens to a view of Arenal’s cone. Participants arrive from La Fortuna, pass through planted gardens and lockers, then walk down to a rainforest river where the day’s sequence — rappels, swims, and jumps — is explained.
The canyon itself cuts through volcanic rock left by Arenal’s eruptions; water has carved polished channels and plunge pools that make multi-pitch rappelling possible. Local guides draw on decades of adventure tourism here, where communities around La Fortuna combined small-scale agriculture with guiding after the volcano’s boom years. The experience blends geology (volcanic basalt and slick river stone), biology (humid forest with broadleaf canopy), and a pragmatic Costa Rican culture that centers safety and hospitality.
Expect two main rappels — about 32 m and 15 m — plus several guided cliff jumps from roughly 3–11 m into deep pools. Terrain alternates between steep rock benches, braided river channels, and short jungle scrambles; surfaces are often wet and slippery. After activity, guests return to the Pure Trek base for tropical fruit and a Costa Rican lunch.
Plan for a full 7-hour day including transfers. Bring quick-dry clothing, secure water shoes with good tread, sun protection, and a reusable water bottle. Hydrate well before the rappels, listen closely during the safety briefing, and be honest with guides about any medical or back issues; the route is physically demanding and best for those comfortable with heights. Photographs are available for purchase.
Private transportation from La Fortuna, safety equipment (helmet, life jacket), guided rappels and jumps, snacks, lunch, lockers, showers, and opportunity to purchase professional photos.
Participants must be in moderate physical condition; the operator advises against those with spinal injuries, heart problems, or pregnancy — specific age limits can vary, so confirm at booking.

Yes — activities are guided and equipment is provided, but comfort with heights, basic swimming ability, and reasonable fitness are required.
