Both tours include lunch at our base camp and snacks in the canyon. Pure Trek CanyoningPure Trek Canyoning has been in operation since 2001 moving tourists through a “slot” canyon in La Fortuna. From children to adults and people with experience we have become specialists in this type of tour during these last 6 years after doing the first decent in the canyon. There are different techniques used in this sport that we have adapted for tourists that have no experience. We use 2 techniques – rappelling and hiking on trails in the canyon. Canyoning or Canyoneering is not just a rappel from a bridge or a waterfall it is moving though a canyon using various techniques. Listed below are the details that we have adapted in our canyon to make the sport of Canyoning into a safe exciting tour for anyone. We always send 3 guides, 2 at the top of each rappel and one at the bottom. When we reach 14 passengers we send 6 guides to divide the group into 2 groups to maintain a very high guide to client ratio. One guide at the top is on upper belay using a friction device (guarding the safety rope for the client rappelling) the other guide at the top is in charge of connecting
the client to the main rappel line. The guide at the bottom is on lower belay using a friction device. Both guides at the top and bottom on belay are there to stop the client if needed, the client is in control of the rappel but the guide is there to help if needed.The clients rappel from platforms and are always connected to a safety cable. They are not disconnected from the safety line until they are safely connected to the main rappel rope.We use set anchors similar to cable wraps used in Canopy tours, connected to large trees on each side of the canyon that have very deep roots and are far from the edge of both sides of the canyon, this is due to the fact that in Costa Rica there is so much erosion due to the amount of rain. The cables are the anchors are also there to sustain the rope the client is rappelling from. It also maintains the rope at a 90 degree angle that helps the client rappel as well as the life of the rope.We work with a structural engineer with all our cable set anchors and the building of our platforms. We inspect all the anchors everyday before each tour as well as all our trails.90 percent of our trails are out of the waterway. We have exit trails at the top and bottom or each rappel.Prices Suggested Nights Stay: 3 Nights ATV Riding Bird Watching Bungee Jumping Butterfly Farm Canoeing Canopy Tours / Zip Line Canyoning Cooking Classes Dolphin Watching Tours Family Friendly Tours Hiking Horseback Riding Jet Ski / Wave Runner Kayaking Kite Surfing Mountain Biking National Park / Reserve Tours Night Hikes Sailing Scuba Diving Serpentarium Snorkeling Sportfishing Sunset Cruises Surfing Surfing Lessons Whale Watching White Water Rafting White Water Tubing Wildlife Viewing Wind Surfing Yoga | Rate | | Waterfall Rappel Tour | $101 per person | | Monkey Drop & Rock Climb Tour | $101 per person | | Rappel & Raft Adventure Tour | $160 per person | | Waterfalls & Chocolate Adventure Tour | $180 per person | | Pure Trek Canyoning + Club Rio | $189 per person | | Zip Lining & Pure Trek Canyoning | $189 per person |

| From: United States | 4/2/2010 | 'Best excursion we did in Arenal. Excellent tour guides who provided plenty of information, fun and thrill. I would recommend this to couples, singles, families, etc. Photographer got great photos too. Food was also awesome! Best tour around.
Did ziplining afterwards and thought it was boring and not exciting at all comparatively.' | | Number of times you have used this Adventure Travel Company? | | How friendly were the employees? | 5 (very nice) | | Would you use the service again? | | Languages spoken at company? | English | | How many times have you visited Costa Rica? |
