The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive hydrated

Carry at least 1–2 liters of water; tropical heat and adrenaline make you sweat more than you expect.

Dress for a swim

Wear a quick‑dry layer with a swimsuit underneath so you can rappel and cool off without changing completely.

Respect the weight limit

The maximum weight limit is 280 lb—check this before booking to avoid disappointment.

Secure valuables

Bring a small waterproof pouch or leave cameras at base—phones and loose items won’t fare well on long ziplines.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask guides for a quieter pool upstream of the main cascade—small natural pools are often less crowded and great for a dip.
  • On clear days, pause at the highest platform for unobstructed views of the Gulf of Nicoya and nearby islands—photographers favor early morning light.

Wildlife

  • Howler monkeys
  • Toucans

Conservation Note

Operators often follow ‘leave no trace’ practices and limit group sizes to reduce trail erosion; visitors should avoid stepping on riparian vegetation and pack out all trash.

The Nicoya region has long been a crossroads between coastal and inland communities; rivers and ridgelines guided pre‑Columbian routes and later smallholder farms that dot the hillsides.
