The Experience

Before You Go

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes

Traction on platforms and muddy approach trails matters—light hiking shoes or trail runners work best.

Bring a refillable water bottle

Six hours in humidity demands regular hydration; guides often allow refills before and after the course.

Morning departures reduce rain risk

If traveling in the wet season, book early to avoid afternoon showers that can shorten canopy visibility.

Secure electronics

Use a lanyard or leave phones in lockers during zips and the Tarzan Swing to avoid loss.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short post-zip swim spots along the Blue River with mineral-tinged pools
  • A quiet viewpoint near the resort where morning fog clears over Rincón de la Vieja for unobstructed volcano views

Wildlife

  • Howler monkeys
  • Toucan and tanager species

Conservation Note

Operators often limit group sizes and keep established trails to reduce erosion; visitors should avoid disturbing wildlife and use provided lockers to prevent littering.

The Rincón de la Vieja area is shaped by volcanic activity and long-standing ranching culture in Guanacaste; geothermal features drew early visitors and later resort development.
