Tropical Bungee
Located: on
the old Colorado river bridge in San Lorenzo of San Ramón,
Alajuela.
Description: We
operate rock climbing and rappel; the rappelling consists of
descending from fixed ropes along ravines, canyon walls,
waterfalls or bridges. Specialized equipment like static ropes,
harnesses, rappel racks and carabineers are used during the
activity. Costa Rica has many interesting jungle settings for
rappelling. Our tour offers rappelling for the enjoyment of
beginners as well as those with some experience. All safety
precautions are taken into account and our guides have wide
knowledge and experience. Our tour begins in San Jose at 8am,
picking up you at your hotel, traveling to the west towards
Grecia. We set up at a place known as Los Chorros with a 40 meter
waterfall. Upon arrival everyone will be outfitted with a harness,
helmet, carabiners and will be connected to a safety line. A brief
description and instruction will get you ready for this exciting
adventure. One of the guides will rappel down first to provide
safety and assistance at the bottom. Once your turn to rappel
comes the guide will set the rappel device on the rope and attach
it with a carabineer to your harness as well as the safety rope.
You will begin on a gentle slope and about halfway it comes to an
almost vertical wall. Once you get to the bottom the guide will
unclip you from the rope and assist you. After everyone has
rappelled we will have a snack lunch at the bottom (depending on
weather).
