Activity description
Explore the stunning Monteverde Cloud Forest from above with this 2.5 hour canopy tour. Don´t miss out the longest canopy in all Costa Rica (4 km).
Costa Rica is also known for its world-renowned canopy tours. Imagine flying through the treetops hundreds of meters in the air, with an opportunity to observe the diverse fauna!
There are a number of ways to explore the tree-tops of Monteverde that will provide you unique aerial panoramas of the forest. However, the most popular form is the zip-line canopy; a practice with 16 strong steel cables strung between old and extremely strong trees. You are released through the forest from tree to tree along these lines through a safety harness.
Over the course of your outing you'll use the adrenaline inducing cable systems, the longest is 1030 meters! You'll also try the popular 'tarzan swing', a firmly attached rope hovering over a huge cliff, from where you fall freely and swing.
The best thing about this outing is the unparalleled views of the lush beauty - not many places can boast such scenery. The trip takes about 2.5 hours.
