About the activity

Immerse yourself in the heart of the Monteverde cloud forest, an ecosystem with the most vibrant biodiversity in Costa Rica. Here, the protagonist is a majestic ficus tree nearly 40 metres high, a natural giant that invites adventurers to a challenging climb.

The adventure offers two fascinating perspectives to conquer the crown of this 39.5-metre colossus. Since the ficus is hollow, you can opt for an immersive internal climb, literally scaling the inside of the trunk. For those seeking a more aerial sensation, the external ascent via a via ferrata system allows you to climb the outer bark. Using professional safety equipment such as the GriGri and under the constant supervision of expert guides, you will reach the top to enjoy a 360° panoramic view over the infinite green mantle of the cloud forest.

This experience is designed to be exciting yet accessible, ideal for beginners and families with children from the age of 8. The certified safety equipment ensures that the challenge of height is transformed into pure controlled adrenaline. You will enjoy personalised attention in small groups, feeling safe in the hands of professional instructors who know every branch and anchor of the route.

Available all year round, this outing is the most original way to discover the nature of Costa Rica. As you descend, you will take with you not only the satisfaction of having overcome a physical challenge, but also the indelible image of the cloud forest from a privileged perspective.
