Canopy + La Fortuna Waterfall
Fly over the waterfall, then swim at its base
Overview
The canopy circuit flies you over the top of the Fortuna waterfall in the morning; afterwards you walk down the 500 steps to its base and swim in the pool it has carved out of the rock. Seeing the same waterfall from the air and then from the water below is the whole point of this pairing, and it is the reason this is Arenal Mundo Aventura's most-booked combination. Lunch is included between the two halves. The descent and climb back up are the only demanding part of the day - take it slowly and there are shaded landings to rest on.
