Canyoning

Canyoning is a relatively new adventure sport to Costa Rica with origins in the rugged mountains of the Austrian Alps.   What exactly is Canyoning you ask - Well, basically, you start at the top of a steep canyon that typically has a stream or small river flowing through it. From there you descend through the canyon by any means at you disposal i.e. repelling, swimming, jumping, swinging, climbing, sliding and zip-lining! Whew!

Because of Costa Rica's extremely steep topography, Green Frog Adventures has access to literally thousands of amazing jungle canyons and here is the rundown on one of our favorites.   Located deep in the jungled mountains surrounding Arenal Volcano (Costa Ricas most active Volcano) lies one of Costa Ricas most impressive navigatable canyons.   We'll start the day early and with a hearty Costa Rican breakfast (we'll be needing the calories) before we start making our way into the surrounding mountains.   Once we reach our destination, the top of one of Costa Ricas most magnificent canyons, your guides will teach you the basics of Repelling and some of the other necessary descending techniques that we'll be utilizing throughout the trip.   Once you have a good grasp of repelling it's into the abyss for you!
