Being such a fan of waterfalls, possibly my favorite highlight of our time in La Fortuna was rappelling down waterfalls with Pure Trek Canyoning. It was awesome getting to rappel down beautiful waterfalls in an actual rainforest!Â
We rappelled down five beautiful waterfalls in the Costa Rican jungle. I’m not going to lie, I definitely had a few butterflies looking 165 feet down on the first waterfall. But the Pure Trek staff was amazing that the butterflies quickly left and before we knew it we were dangling over the edge! Even the people in our group who were scared of heights still had an amazing time.
Each of the five areas we rappelled felt like a new experience. It’s a really cool feeling getting to lean out over a waterfall and just jump backwards! Em’s favorite was the controlled freefall! Instead of rappelling, we swung out into the Costa Rican canopy and then dropped into a natural pool below. My favorite rappelling location was the last one! With a big enough jump we were able to jump the whole way down to the ground, clearing the entire waterfall. On the drive up to the falls we spotted 2 sloths! Just a great reminder that you never know what you might see in the Costa Rican rainforest!
If you like waterfalls or rappelling, Pure Trek Canyoning is definitely worth a visit!
