Highlights
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.

Itinerary
Welcome and preparation: When you arrive at the meeting point, you will meet our certified guides, who will deliver all the necessary technical equipment: wetsuit, harness and helmet. Before you start, you will receive a safety talk and a full explanation about the descent techniques and the rules we will follow throughout the adventure. 2. Road to the canyon From the parking lot we will transfer in a short vehicle tour to the canyon access. From there we will begin a hike of approximately 15 to 20 minutes through the tropical forest until we reach Quebrada Gata : Blue Falls, where the adventure begins.
Road to the canyon : Enjoy a short transfer overlooking, weather permitting, Poás Volcano National Park and Juan Castro Blanco National Park. Then we will hike 15 to 20 minutes until the start of the canyon.
Learn the descent technique in a practice rappel to gain confidence before the main rappels. Descend a stunning 25-meter waterfall and, at the end, enjoy an optional natural slide.
Descend 23 meters combining a short stretch of rappel with an exciting zipline. This is one of the most iconic places on the tour, where two rivers come together to create the breathtaking sky-colored waters that make Blue Falls famous.
Tour a section full of turquoise pools and natural slides. We’ll pause for a snack while you relax and take in the breathtaking scenery surrounding the canyon.
Enjoy the spectacular La Celestial Falls, where you can choose between an approach descent or a natural vertical slide (optional), abseil for 12 meters and finish with an optional jump of 2 meters to a celestial pool. Finish the descents with a 12-meter rappel at the stunning La Celestial Falls.
End the adventure with a 30-minute hike along the Blue Falls Trails. During the tour you will enjoy the lush tropical forest and, with a little luck, you will be able to observe some of the species of fauna that inhabit the area before returning to the meeting point.
