Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Canyon Adventure & Stargazing
After breakfast, enjoy a great Canyon Adventure surrounded by the beautiful nature of the tropical dry-forest at Rio Perdido. The Canyon Adventure at Rio Perdido is truly innovative, under the guidance of renowned adventure designers, they have created an incredible sequence. The Rio Blanco canyon is the main stage for this cable-based adventure. You will hike, rapel, and fly through the air on 5 zip wires, the pendulum cable, Tarzan swing and 27-meter Challenge Bridge, linked by suspended platforms. The rest of the day is at leisure, you could explore on a walking tour to discover hidden waterfalls, medicinal springs and panoramic viewpoints. Mountain biking is another great way to get to know the area and there is an eclectic circuit, with solid rock segments, sand, raw earth…bridges, ramps, banks, and even a few downhill sections in the advanced circuit. If you’re looking for a more relaxing experience, you could go river tubing (only available in summer) down the Rio Blanco; a great way to soak up the canyon. We highly recommend the natural volcanic mud pools, the thermal river and the thermo-mineral pools. Butterflies, monkeys and iguanas are readily visible and you’ll often see rare purple orchids and strangler figs. In the early evening, as the sun starts to set, you will head out to observe the nocturnal forest activity and stargazing. By nightfall, more than 60% of the forest life awakens, you will also see mammals, insects, amphibians and reptiles as the day shift scurrying off for the night. Follow your guide through the forest and over two suspension zip lines to a panoramic lookout, an amazing place to stargaze, with a complete absence of artificial illumination.
