Thrill-Therapy™ — Taking you out of your comfort zone, and making you comfortable in the process!
Your canyoning adventure begins at Ballena Vibes Hostel, where you’ll meet your expert guides and get fitted with all the safety gear you’ll need — including a helmet, harness, and descending equipment.
From there, we hop in our custom 4x4 vehicle for a short 5-minute ride through the forest and up the ridgeline to the top of the canyon. Once at the starting point, your guides will deliver a detailed safety briefing and teach you the basics of rappelling before your first descent.
Your first rappel is a 7-meter (21 ft) waterfall — the perfect place to learn and practice your rappelling skills. From there, the canyon unfolds with five more incredible rappels, surrounded by lush jungle walls and flowing water.
The tallest waterfall you'll conquer is an exhilarating 27 meters (80 ft) high!
At the bottom of the canyon, you’ll arrive at the Uvita River, home to natural swimming holes, smooth rock slides, and jumping spots for those who want to cool off or just relax in paradise.

Cancellations due to weather or safety conditions
The safety of our guests and guides is always our top priority. Since canyoning depends directly on river and waterfall conditions, the following policies apply:
• If the tour must be canceled before starting due to heavy rain, river flooding, or unsafe conditions:
• Guests may choose to reschedule at no additional cost or receive a 60% refund (with 40% retained to cover operational expenses).
• If the tour has already started and must be interrupted due to sudden weather changes:
• Guests will be offered the option to reschedule for another date or receive a credit for a future activity.
• No cash refund will apply once the tour has begun.
Important notes
• Light or moderate rain is considered normal in the rainforest and is not grounds for cancellation, unless it poses a safety risk.
• Refunds are processed through the same payment method used for the booking and may take a few business days to appear in the guest’s account.
