Description
This unforgettable adventure begins 23 miles (37 kilometers) from La Fortuna, where the tour operator will take you via a 4x4 car deep into the lush rainforest covered mountains to the pristine La Vieja River.
Once you arrive, you will get geared up with all the safety equipment and your guide will give you your safety talk and briefing. Then, you'll set off to the rainforest for your river adventure!
The first platform is a waterfall rappel, and you'll descend down a beautiful
32 meter (104 foot) waterfall. You'll land in the crisp pool, cooling off after your first rappel.
After that, three exhilirating jumps into natural pools await you, with heights getting progessively higher and higher. The jumps, ranging from 4.5 meters (15 feet) to 11 meters (36 feet) will send your blood pumping throughout this whole experience!
After all the jumps and swimming in crystal clear river pools, you'll be taken back to base camp to change and then you'll head back the La Fortuna operation center for a hearty lunch to refuel your energy.
