Your Puerto Viejo Jungle Adventure Tour is designed for the experienced athlete who loves a challenge. This is a day full of hiking, climbing, swinging and rappelling through the jungle near the southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. The tour includes crossing a hammock bridge over the canopy, hiking down a river, swimming in natural pools, rappelling down a waterfall, climbing a giant tree and more.
Your day begins with transportation from your hotel to the Jungle Adventure operation base. You will be taken to meet your professional guide who will explain all activities, safety rules and equipment for this adventure tour in Puerto Viejo.
After the security meeting, you will cross a hammock style hanging bridge as you make your way to the Carbon River where you will hike along the shore. Parts of the hike will require canyoning equipment: harness, rope, and helmet. Your naturalist guide will assist you with all equipment as well as help you locate and identify any plants and animals that you may see while in the jungle.
You will have an opportunity to swim in natural pools to cool off and relax. At the end of this hike, you will rappel down a waterfall that is approximately 60 feet tall.
You will continue through the jungle until you reach a 50 ft tree that you will climb, using the same equipment. At the top of the tree is the platform where you will start the canopy tour. This includes the 60 ft Tarzan Swing. Then you will fly across the jungle on a 1000 foot cable aptly named Superman.
