Full Description
Begin your adventure by meeting your guide and gearing up with life jackets and dry bags. You then follow a jungle trail for roughly 2 km, making your way over rocks, river crossings, and ladders. The trail’s final stretch takes you through a narrow gorge, eventually opening into a canyon where La Leona Waterfall dramatically spills into a hidden pool. Here, you can swim, explore, and take in the natural serenity.
After your waterfall excursion, the excitement continues with river tubing along the Colorado River. Your raft, equipped with handles and a protective bottom, helps you safely ride through a 4 km stretch of rapids rated from Class I to III. Your guide gives a safety briefing before launch, stays with you throughout, and ensures your experience is thrilling but secure.
When the tubing ends, you'll return to the base where changing rooms, lockers, and shower facilities await so you can freshen up before heading out.

Why Travelers Love It
The private-tour setup makes the experience feel more personal and intimate — no large groups, and the pace is fully up to you.
The hike is adventurous but manageable: crossing streams, climbing rocks, and swimming into a canyon gives it a true sense of exploration.
Tubing is both fun and safe — the rapids are lively, but the gear (rafts with handles) and guidance make it family-friendly.
Guides are knowledgeable, offering insights into the local flora, fauna, and even geological character of the area, making the tour both educational and thrilling.
The balance of adrenaline (tubing) and peaceful nature (waterfall, swimming) offers a well-rounded experience, not just a rush.

This tour was an invitation to slow down, disconnect from the digital world, and reconnect with nature. We spent hours hiking through lush forests, swimming in crystal-clear lakes, and marveling at the stunning scenery. Our guide was a skilled outdoorsman, tea…
Cheers for every thing
