In Costa Rica, jumping into waterfalls is a rite of passage. This experience brings that tradition to life.
You’ll start by passing through scenic countryside on your way to a private rainforest. There, expert guides lead a full safety briefing before you descend a stunning 30-meter (98-foot) waterfall.
After the rappel swim in clear jungle pools, explore hidden falls, and take on optional jumps from 1 to 10 meters—just like the locals do.
To top it off, a professional photographer captures every moment. So so you leave with unforgettable memories of this authentic Costa Rican adventure.
You might think creating an adventure like this is as simple as finding a pretty waterfall and setting up some ropes. But let me tell you, a lot of hard work went into making Rainforest Falls the unforgettable experience it’s about to become. It took countless hours of planning, testing, and teamwork to bring this adventure to life.
The Teamwork That Made It Possible
From the start, the Pure Trek team was dedicated to crafting a one-of-a-kind experience. They worked tirelessly to piece together every aspect of the trek. The safety trials alone were a big deal—making sure that every rappel, every jump, and every path was not just exciting, but also incredibly safe.
The guides tested each section multiple times (and probably got to have a little fun in the process), fine-tuning the trek until it felt perfect.
Creating the Perfect Atmosphere
To give you that authentic Costa Rican vibe, Pure Trek even held photoshoots featuring local models, adding a touch of the region’s unique culture to the experience.
It wasn’t just about the adrenaline—it was about feeling like you were part of the local community, exploring a hidden gem that even many locals haven’t experienced.
Opening the Doors to Travel Agencies
To ensure Rainforest Falls stood out, the Pure Trek team invited travel agencies to experience the trek firsthand.
So when a local guide mentions it or you spot it online, you’ll know it’s backed by experts who truly know Costa Rica’s adventure scene.

“Incredible experience” – A Tripadvisor Reviewer, Sep 2024
“This was my first time canyoning, and we chose the Rainforest Falls trek because my husband enjoys more extreme adventures. Isai, Mauricio, Rony, Pepe, and Mike were our tour guides, and we could not have asked for a better group of people to do this adventure with. They truly made the experience 1000% better. I would honestly recommend this tour to anyone. It was extremely safe, although very nerve-wracking, but being able to conquer your fears with the encouragement of those guides was an incredible feeling. I even lost my watch at one of the jumps, and Pepe searched the bottom of the river and found it. The lunch afterward was also probably one of the best meals we’ve had in Costa Rica. We will definitely be coming back when we bring the rest of our family here!”
