The One Day Adventure Pass in Liberia strings together the region’s kinetic attractions: a canopy and rappelling sequence through Rio Blanco Canyon, an adrenaline-charged tubing run on the Rio Negro, a horseback ride through Guanacaste scenery, followed by volcanic thermal waters, steam and mud baths — all finished with lunch at Hacienda Guachipelin.

Outing Highlights

THE CANOPY & CANYON

Zip lines and rappels through Rio Blanco Canyon

The day’s first pulse: canopy lines and guided rappelling into Rio Blanco Canyon, offering dramatic canyon views and close encounters with the river corridor.

THE RIVER

Tubing the Rio Negro’s class III rapids

A guided tubing run on the Rio Negro includes Class III rapids—an energetic stretch of whitewater that’s a focal point of the package.

THE RECOVERY

Horseback riding and volcanic thermal baths

After land and river thrills, riders unwind with a horseback segment followed by soaking in volcano-heated thermal waters, steam and a mud bath to close the loop.
