Highlights
  • Ruta Nacional Treciaria 702 - Begin your extreme jungle tour on top of a deep canyon cliff and take an adrenaline-pumping rappel down an 80-foot waterfall. Listen to the crashing water and watch your guide’s hand signals for instructions as you descend. Once you get the hang of it, bounce off the rock wall on your way down. When you’re near the bottom, let go! Splash into a deep pool of transparent water and swim to shore. Follow your guides as you descend the canyon and jump into a series of pools of crystal clear blue water below.

You’ll conquer four waterfall jumps, ranging from 10 to 30 feet, calling for different types of leaps and landings, with more pools of water waiting for you.

Soaked but exhilarated, swim to the rocky shore after your final waterfall jump and then enjoy a tropical fruit fiesta. We then head to our headquarters at the El Salto waterfall, you’ll tear into a hearty lunch featuring sumptuous local fare and afterward, doze off during the ride back to your hotel.

Thrilling adventure Awaits! - This trip was a highlight for my family. Multiple waterfall rappels and cliff jumps. The staff was fun, kind and encouraging. David went above and beyond by finding my son's phone which he lost during a jump and personally delivering it to us at our next stop in Monteverde. What a hero! Highly recommend this adventure!

Fun adventurous activity! - My husband and I booked the Gravity Falls Canyoning trip during our honeymoon in La Fortuna, Costa Rica after reading about it in a tour blog. We had a blast. Eric and Jose were great guides! Funny, knowledgeable and capable. We had a small group of four plus the guides, which also made it a very personal experience. Would definitely recommend this to any adventurous individuals. Only complaint is that it wasn’t longer!

Amazing Waterfall Adventure - We did this excursion in February 2024 and had such an amazing time! Our crew was very friendly and helped encourage us to complete the jumps. Despite being the one to choose this adventure I definitely psyched myself out on some of the bigger drops and got scared but the Desafio team made sure I felt safe and had the experience I was hoping for. That being said, there are options to skip the jumps if it's truly not for you. Would 100% recommend to anyone traveling to LaFortuna and would book additional excursions with the company if we end up back there in the future.

Amazing thrill and true outdoor experience - This was such a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it if you are looking for some good action. This was a true adventure in the forrest, while we had all the right gear and it was always safe, it was not a "curated experience", it had nice walks, repel and an incredible 30-feet jump at the end (optional). My wife and 12 y/o son were able to do it but it takes that adventurous spirit
