One of our all time favorite outdoor things to do in La Fortuna is canyoning, or waterfall rappelling. The first time I ever went canyoning was with Yeison, my brother and his wife and two friends. It has been one of my most cherished memories since I moved to Costa Rica and still one of our favorites in La Fortuna.

Do you need to know how to swim?
No swimming is required for this canyoning tour. You will be submerged in water during the Monkey Drop when they will harness you up to a vertical line, and then drop you down a canyon into a small pool of water, to about waist deep. A guide will be there waiting for you to help you out of the pool. You can opt out of this part of the tour if you wish.
On the Rainforest Falls tour, you need to know how to swim. There are opportunities to swim in the pools. You will be jumping into pools (although these jumps are optional).
Will I get wet?
Yes! You can will get very wet. Please make sure to bring a change of clothes and to wear clothes can get wet and dries easily during the tour.
On the Rainforest Falls tour, you will get VERY wet!
What if it rains?
These tours runs rain or shine and this part of Costa Rica is tropical rainforest. However, the tour will be cancelled if there is inclement weather that prohibits the tour from running safely such as landslides, mudslides, lightning strikes, and the such.
In that case, we will inform you of the situation and offer you options to reschedule or cancel with a refund.
What shoes do I need?
Your shoes will get wet, so the best kind of shoe is an outdoor adventure sandal, such as closed toed hiking sandals. Your shoes must be securely strapped on with two straps. Closed toed is best, to protect your toes. Water shoes, trail running shoes, Chaco sandals are good options.
NO loose shoes, flip flops, sandals or shoes that dangle off your feet without protection or security. Any type of sandal must have a front and back heel strap.
Pure Trek does not have shoes for rent.
Is there an age limit or minimum age? How difficult is the tour?
For the canyoning tour, the minimum age to do the tour is 5. In case a child is scared on the first rappel, the guide can take them down. Then the descents are done alone.
There is no maximum age limit but you do need to be in moderate condition. You must be able to hold and grip a rock climbing rope and be able to brace yourself with your legs and feet against a natural rock wall.
The guides do have a special system to lower people such as young children, older adults or people with physical challenges down, so you don’t need to be using your strength the whole time.
There is some hiking required at the end of the tour as you have to hike up and out of the canyon.
For rainforest falls, the minimum age is 12 and every participant must be in very good physical condition to hike the trails and do the jumps.
For both tours, pregnant women, those with recent major surgeries, those with ankles, legs, wrists, elbow and feet problems, those with major back issues, those with heart problems are not allowed. Please let us know your situation in the comments so we can verify if you are able to do the tour.

If you do the combined zipline and unguided bridges tour does the ziplining go first and take 4 hours? Or does the ziplining go first and take less than the 4 hours and you walk at your own pace for the bridges/nature trail? Looking to do this late June so hoping the early morning start will be better weather wise. Thank you

We are checking out the day we are considering to book. What is the timeframe? Would it be best to park our car at your headquarters? We are a family of four but traveling with other families. What is the max number of people you take?
Thank you!

Hi Kelly, they have tours at 7 AM and 12 PM, about 4 hours each. During certain dates of the year, they also offer a 9 AM but if you book a private tour, they can do 9 AM any time. The maximum amount of people per group per schedule is 50 people. You can drive to their base camp, leave your car there and then go with the group in the bus to do the tour.
