Three ways to move through the jungle in one morning, starting on an ATV

You ride an ATV through jungle for 90 minutes, rappel a 180-foot waterfall, then zipline over 2000 meters of canopy. All equipment, a professional guide, and refreshments are included. You pick your start time between 8am and 5pm, and the whole experience stays in one park, so no time is lost to transfers between activities.

The Experience

What makes someone want to trade a beach day for mud, rope, and heights? Maybe it's the idea of doing three completely different things before lunch—or maybe it's that you get to do them all in the same 5 hours without having to plan three separate trips. The day starts on an ATV, and you ride for about 90 minutes through forest trails until you reach El Encanto waterfall. That's when the energy shifts.

The waterfall rappel is 180 feet, and yeah, you're going to get soaked. Your guide handles the rigging and walks you through the descent, but there's still that moment where you're standing at the edge looking down and your brain catches up to what you're about to do. After you've come back down and wrung yourself out, there's a break for light refreshments—water, snacks, a chance to catch your breath. Then comes the zipline section: over 2000 meters of canopy tour, which means you're moving through the treetops on a series of lines with views that don't exist from the ground. The whole thing—ATV, rappel, zipline—happens in one park, so there's no driving between stops, no waiting around for the next group to finish.

Pickup is flexible. You choose a departure window between 8am and 5pm, and you'll confirm the exact time with the operator once your booking is confirmed. All the gear—harnesses, helmets, rappelling equipment—is provided, and your guide stays with you the whole time. Groups can be small or large; families with kids work, couples work, solo travelers work. The only real constraint is that children need an adult with them, which makes sense given the heights involved.

What’s included

Your day includes ATV use for the 1.5-hour forest ride, all rappelling and zipline equipment (harnesses, helmets, safety gear), a professional guide for the full 5 hours, the 180-foot waterfall rappel at El Encanto, access to over 2000 meters of canopy zipline, and light refreshments during the break between activities.
