What you’ll do
Your day kicks off with a pick-up directly from your accommodation. After a scenic 15-minute drive, you’ll reach the rainforest basecamp. Once there, you’ll meet your certified adventure guides who will conduct a detailed safety briefing to explain the rappelling process. Even beginners are welcome—no previous experience is required, and all equipment, including helmets and harnesses, is provided and adjusted for comfort and safety.

After drying off and changing into comfortable clothes, you’ll head to a beloved local restaurant near the Río La Fortuna for a hearty Costa Rican lunch. It’s the perfect chance to relax, recount the morning’s adventure, and bond with fellow participants.
