With the sun climbing higher, the UV index reaches a high of 9.0, so don’t forget your sunscreen. The morning’s adventures set the tone for a day of exploration and relaxation, perfectly balancing the thrill of discovery with the tranquility of nature.

Afternoon Thrills and Chills

As the day progresses, the chance of rain increases, but that doesn’t dampen the spirit of adventure in Jaco. The afternoon is ideal for those seeking a mix of adrenaline and relaxation. With a 54.8% chance of rain, it’s wise to pack a light rain jacket or umbrella, but don’t let that deter you from experiencing the thrill of a Zip Line and Horseback Combo.

Available from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, this adventure begins with a 2-hour zip line tour through the rainforest canopy. Feel the rush as you glide down 12 platforms and 10 cables, one of the longest zip lines in the Central Pacific. After the zip line, saddle up for a horseback ride to the mountain’s peak, where you’ll find pristine swimming holes and cascading waterfalls.
