Imagine waking up to the view of a steaming volcano followed by a day of Waterfall Repelling, Volcano Hiking, Hot Springs, and some molting hot lava picture taking (if your lucky).
Sounds like a lot to cram into one day? Not when you’re in La Fortuna, CR. Most people wouldn’t consider this a relaxing day of vacation, BUT not only will you have the opportunity to do all of this in a single day, YOU can do it without scrambling around like a mad person.
Get out around 8 am depending on the time you choose to waterfall repel, and get ready to travel on a rugged pickup truck trek up the mountain. Your tour guides will pick you up from the downtown and happily bring you to the starting place of your repel. The guides are very pleased to be with you and are filled with fantastic tales of growing up in Costa Rica so don’t be shy (like how to decapitate a Fer de Lance snake). Once you get over the jitters of what you’re about to do, you will really delight in the entire repel trip and the humor of the guides. There are plenty of activities other than repelling along the way. Be sure to bring only waterproof cameras because you’ll have plenty of opportunities to take pictures of all the cool spiders, lizards, and waterfalls you’ll see.
