Highlights
  • San Lorenzo - Immerse yourself in the thrill and rush of a white water rafting escapade on the Balsa river, featuring class 2/3 rapids.\n\nYour adventure starts at the Lands in Love lobby, from where you’ll take a brief 7-minute drive to the river’s edge, marking the beginning of your excitement. Here, your guides will provide a comprehensive briefing on safety measures and how to use the equipment before you set off down the river. Look forward to 2 hours of heart-pounding white water fun amidst the picturesque tropical landscape.\n\nThis distinctive river journey is a blend of nature, thrill-seeking, and wildlife spotting. Keep an eye out for monkeys, sloths, and a variety of tropical birds.\n\nPost-lunch, the canyoning adventure kicks off near a serene lake set against the backdrop of a stunning cloud forest. Your expert guides will offer thorough instructions on general safety and equip you with the highest quality safety harnesses and climbing gear.\n\nA short 10-minute trek leads you to the initial rappel point, which starts from a suspended bridge and descends into canyon waterfalls. Brace yourself for a 55-meter high rappel, followed by a series of four descents totaling 60 meters. Inside the canyon, four waterfalls await, culminating in an exhilarating, oversized Tarzan swing. A car or tractor will then transport you through the cloud forest back to your starting point. The grand finale of your adventure is a 400-meter zip line cable ride, where you’ll soar like Superman.

SO MUCH FUN! - If you are thinking about coming here to have some fun, you’ve found the right place! I will remember all the amazing memories I made here for the rest of my life! It was my first time going white water rafting and doing the Tarzan swing and the crew always made me feel extremely safe 👍🏻 I have gone zip lining before, but never this high up in the sky so it was so exciting to see all the GORGEOUS views. What I also loved about these excursions was that you don’t have to risk taking your phone up on those heights because there is always a photographer on the excursions to capture all the best shots so you’ll always have photos of your experience to look back on. The photographers capture beautiful photos, the tour guides are so fun to hangout with, the views are truly incredible and it was all so safe. SO much to love about this place 😊❤️

10/10 Combo of Experiences - Wow! This was such an action packed experience. The tour guides were so friendly and excitable and the pictures/video came out incredible. I can't recommend this experience enough. I've done similar experiences in other parts of the world but doing it here in the jungles of Costa Rica was top of the line and truly unique.

Great family experience - I took the rafting and canyoning with my 11 year daughter and 13 year son. they both enjoyed both activities very much. The guides were professionals and highly skilled. They made us feel safe and comfortable, treated everyone with respect and plenty of appropriate humor. . The rafting was particularly fund and our guide (Werner) was nothing less than amazing. . He was fluent in English, and while paddling, explain to us how to paddle and giving a nature overview of everything we saw, he was able to spot animals and show to us.
