   | Includes: Ropes Course, Room, Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.
Our dynamic ropes course is a great opportunity for groups and individuals of all ages to safely learn about risk-taking, their own perceived limits, how they perform under pressure, how they give and receive support from other people, and how working with others collaboratively can help an individual achieve more than they thought they could accomplish. Put on a harness, climb up the ladder to the first platform, clip into the safety cable, and begin your passage. Overcome the various obstacles and challenges until reaching the final platform. At last, clip into the zip line and slide 250 feet down to the end of the course.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Excursion #5: Hike to the Waterfall "Charco Bonito" + 1 night. $60.00* USD (pp)

This four hour hike winds out of Rancho Wendy through Los Quemados and along the river to an incredibly original bridge. Depending on the route you take, this trip can be long or short. The longer path includes passing through a little mountain town in the surrounding hills where chocolate production is the main source of income. Both trails include meandering paths through the luscious jungles, and if your timing is right don’t forget to look for the local passion fruit for a fresh snack! After stretching your legs a little or just when your rear is ready for a break, you’ll find yourself at a pool fed by a beautiful waterfall. At the top you will find a much longer cascade: slide down, jump off the next two and finish with a slide down the first or a dive off the cliff next to it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Excursion # 6: Hike Killer Trail & 1 night: $60.00* USD (pp)

Along the way you will walk through the small village of La Selva, where children will be playing on the streets and the locals would love to open the local colmado for you to have a cold drink!
