Canyoning in Quepos. We start with a quick taxi to the outskirts of Quepos where your 4x4 ride awaits. We head straight in land towards the breathtaking mountains of jungle, coffee and waterfalls, passing palm plantations and teak farms.
We head through the village of Naranjito around 20 minutes away and on to Villa Nueva (New Village), our first stop. Anthony your tour guide and the owner of Quepo Canyoning will then serve you a delicious Costa Rican breakfast cooked by his lovely wife Elizabeth helped by the rest of the family. The food generally consists of either an omelet with cheese, onion and potatoes or rice, beans, eggs, plantains and cheese. Both meals include some fruit and traditionally made Costa Rican coffee. We then jump back onboard our 4x4 for a short trip taking us into the heart of the jungle and foothills. Then a 10-minute hike through beautiful trails also occupied by leaf cutter ants and various other insects frogs and wildlife as we follow winding paths through trees and vines. You will then hear the sound of water getting louder and
loader until you turn the last corner and come face to face with the bottom of our 90 foot waterfall. Anthony will then carefully guide you through all the safety aspects of climbing and the equipment involved.
Have no fear there is no free climbing here. You will have 2 ropes secured to properly maintained and licensed cables at the top. You will be supplied with gloves, helmets and harnesses that are attached to the ropes with a couple of climbing devices that will allow you to ascend the waterfall in a safe and steady manor. This allows you to concentrate on where you are placing your feet while enjoying the view. We highly recommend you bring
appropriate footwear, something that covers your toes would be preferable. Whether they are a type of sandal, water shoes or a full tennis shoe, which should not get ruined, as it is fresh water. Shorts and t-shirt’s or some variation will work fine just keep in mind you are going to get wet from head to toe, a refreshing cool change from the heat of the beach. Then you start to climb the 90-foot waterfall and the adventure begins…finally you find yourself at the top and get to turn back and look down on the canopy and take in your climb. A little time to catch your breath and your ready to rappel /abseil all the way back down keeping a strong wide stance with the look of a professional. After your adrenaline climb we go down to a lower
waterfall that will massage your back as you enjoy the beautiful pool and take a swim whilst refueling on fruit, juice, coffee and cookies. We often encounter Jesus Christ Lizards, Monkey’s, and maybe even the Morph, a huge blue Butterfly (Mariposa) with wings the size of your hands.
Anthony and his assistant will be able to answer any questions of your fauna and flora questions and our professional photographer will be around to show you the images of your climbing action, which you can choose to purchase on CD. Then back to Anthony’s for a brief stop before heading back to
Quepos and a taxi ride back to your hotel. Take a break from the beach and come and join on this adrenaline packed tour for ages 8 and above!
