Private Full-Day Curubande Tubing, Cliff Jump, La Leona and Llanos de Cortes

One long day in the Guanacaste back country, built around three waterfalls and a stretch of the Río Blanco. The morning opens with a slow float in a tube down the blue river, then a short hike to a small waterfall and a cliff-jumping spot. The jumps come in several heights off a canyon edge of about 45 feet. After that, a 30 minute hike leads along mountain trails, coves, cliffs and ladders toward La Leona. The finish is a swim against the current, pulling along a rope, into the cave where the waterfall falls. Lunch is a traditional casado at a local restaurant in Curubandé. The afternoon goes to the Llanos de Cortés waterfalls, entered by the locals' entrance with a local guide. A 20 minute hike through tropical dry forest ends at a hidden pool for swimming and jumping. A last 5 minute walk climbs to the top of a 90 foot fall for the view, and the group then goes down to the base to swim. Footwear decides who can join. Fully closed-toe sneakers or hiking shoes with thick rubber soles are required, and sandals, Chacos and light water shoes are not accepted, because the ground is slippery and sharp. Included are private transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle, a guide, lunch, snacks, bottled water, alcoholic beverages and a video.
