ABC Canyoning and Balsa River rafting combo

Part one / The canyon

Start with the waterfalls.

Your adventure begins at a local farm with a welcome from the team. After fitting your harness, helmet and gloves, a short forest walk leads to the first training rappel and safety briefing.

Progress through four waterfall rappels, from approximately 49 to 131 feet. Each descent brings a different challenge as you explore the canyon’s trails, flowing water and natural rock formations.

This combo does not include the 230-foot waterfall. For that descent, choose Infinite Waterfall Tour.
