Private Borinquen Adventure Tour — Full-Day Zipline, Horseback & Hot Springs in Rincón de la Vieja
A full‑day private outing from Liberia that pairs an 11‑cable zipline and scenic horseback ride with volcanic mud baths and hot springs at Borinquen. Expect guided thrills, thermal relaxation, and Tico hospitality on a 6–8 hour excursion.
The Experience
Before You Go
Secure footwear
Wear sturdy closed‑toe shoes for the zipline platforms and horseback sections; traction matters on wet trails.
Sun and bug protection
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen and insect repellent—dry season is sunnier, rainy months bring more mosquitoes.
Protect electronics
Use a small dry bag or leave cameras in lockers when zipping; harnesses and gloves can jostle devices.
Hydrate early
Start the morning hydrated and sip regularly—the combination of activity and warm springs can dehydrate you fast.
