Some stories begin on paper, built with spreadsheets and business plans.
Others begin with a simple question:
What if…?
The story of La Roca Canyoning belongs to the second.
In La Fortuna, near Arenal Volcano, this is more than a tourism business. It is the personal vision of Ericka Chavarría—a Costa Rican entrepreneur who, after years in the industry, decided it was time to create something of her own.
Something with purpose. Something with soul.

It’s Not What You Do. It’s How You Feel Doing It
Let’s be honest.
There are many places for canyoning in La Fortuna, Costa Rica.
But very few where you feel truly guided.
La Roca started as a shared project and has grown into a complete experience designed to help you disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself.
Today, it includes:
- A canyoning experience in the Arenal River canyon
- La Roca Bistro for a local dining experience
- Boutique accommodations with views of Arenal Volcano
Everything is connected by one idea:
Authenticity.
Here, you’re not just another booking.
You become part of the story.

Canyoning in La Fortuna: Where Fear Becomes Confidence
Many people think canyoning is only for experienced adventurers.
It’s not.
At La Roca, the experience is designed to flow naturally turning hesitation into confidence over the course of 2.5 to 3.5 hours.
You will:
- Rappel down 4 waterfalls
- Jump (optional) into natural pools
- Cross zipline sections above the canyon
- Walk through rainforest trails
But the most important part is not the activity itself.
It’s the moment before it.
That pause.
That doubt.
And then—the step forward.
What truly defines this experience is seeing different generations share it together. Like a 6-year-old completing their first descent next to a 77-year-old grandfather.
Because canyoning is not about age.
It’s about willingness.
More Than a Canyoning Tour Near Arenal Volcano
La Roca is a 100% Costa Rican project, built with attention to detail and a deep respect for the experience.
After the canyon, the journey continues:

It’s a complete, well-paced experience.
Why La Roca Exists
Because adventure should be possible.
For someone trying it for the first time.
For someone looking for something real.
At the end of the day, you won’t remember just the height of the waterfall.
You’ll remember the moment you thought:
“I can’t.”
And one second later—
You were smiling in the water.
