Overview

Why choose this experience?
While other tours only visit the falls, we take you inside them. Drops Canyoning has designed this route for adventure enthusiasts looking for pure adrenaline in an unspoilt and uncrowded environment.

What you will live:

4 Rappels : From controlled descents to vertical falls next to the force of the water.

Slides and Jumping : Natural fun in ancient rock formations.

Aguas Celestes : Explore the famous "Blue Falls" from a perspective that very few tourists get to see.

Immersive Nature : Bajos del Toro is the best kept secret of Alajuela, surrounded by cloud forest and lush biodiversity.

Security and Equipment:
Your safety is our number one priority. We use international standards equipment and our expert guides will give you a complete technical talk before you start. No previous experience required, only moderate fitness and desire to get wet.
