Experience one of Costa Rica’s most extreme canyoning excursions at Gravity Falls near the Arenal Volcano!
If you are looking for a step up from a standard waterfall rappel, Gravity Falls is the most technical canyoning excursion in the region. Located in an isolated jungle canyon near the Children's Eternal Rainforest, this trip is designed for those who want a faster pace and more demanding obstacles. This amazing trip is more than just a canyoning excursion since it will require you to push your limits.
The team will pick you up from your hotel, or you can arrive at the meeting point on your own, before heading deep into the Costa Rican countryside. After a safety briefing and gear-up, you’ll start your canyon excursion. The highlight is a massive 140-foot (42-meter) rappel down a roaring waterfall into a deep natural pool. From there, you will continue through the canyon by climbing over river rocks and taking multiple cliff jumps into the water, with heights ranging from 5 to 25 feet.
Throughout the excursion, you are fully secured with professional equipment and accompanied by expert guides who specialize in technical canyoning. They manage every rope and jump to ensure your safety while you take on the most challenging terrain in the Arenal area.
After the technical descent is complete, you’ll head to a local restaurant for a well-earned traditional Costa Rican buffet lunch. The restaurant is located right next to the El Salto waterfall, providing a relaxed atmosphere to refuel and dry off before the return trip.
Ready to push your limits? Join us at Gravity Falls for a thrilling canyoning excursion in the heart of the jungle!
