3-Day Platinum Canopy & Waterfall Adventure at Vista Golfo, Costa Rica
A three-day, two-night adventure that strings 18 ziplines across 11 waterfalls, plus rappels, a hanging bridge and natural pool swims at Adventure Park Vista Golfo. Expect steep ridgelines, off-road transfers, and guided high-rope elements framed by views of the Gulf of Nicoya.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydration & electrolytes
Bring a 1–2L reusable water bottle and electrolyte mix — the combination of humidity, climbs and zipline adrenaline depletes fluids quickly.
Footwear grip
Wear closed-toe trail shoes with good tread; platforms and pool approaches get slick after rain.
Protect electronics
Use a waterproof case or dry bag for phones and cameras — waterfalls and river spray are constant companions.
Clothing layers
Quick-dry fabrics are best; mornings can be cool on ridges and afternoons hot in the valleys, so pack a light wind layer.

Conservation Note
Operators typically follow strict trail and waste protocols to limit erosion and protect riparian zones; visitors are asked to avoid single-use plastics and stick to designated paths.
The region’s coastal communities grew around fishing and small-scale agriculture; many trails follow old cattle and farm roads repurposed for eco-adventure tourism.
