Canopy Tour

 

The adventure begins when you arrive to the stables and the guides give you an idea of your tour, then you get part of the equipment and you horseback ride for approximately 40 minutes. When we arrive at our destination, we give you the rest of the equipment necessary then we continue with a short walk through the transitional forest where a guide points out things that prevail in the rain forest.

Some times it is possible to see several species of animals, such as white faced and howler monkeys, rodents, snakes, and a great diversity of birds. As well as an enormous variety of orchids, and canopy plant life. The trees we use are adults that tower above, the platforms are at an elevation of 150 feet (45 mts).

 

All the platforms are designed for observation of life rather than damage of it. Trees like Cocora (billia hippocastanum); Peine de mico (apeiba membranacea), and Capulín (mortoniodendron apetala) just to name a few. After the hike we arrive at the first platform where the ride begins. You can’t help but be overwhelmed by the beauty as you glide through the forest on the seven cables. Our shortest cable is 195 ft (60 mts) and our longest is 650 ft (203 mts).

 

All the equipment we use is very safe and simple, and will be handled by the guides so you can sit back and enjoy the day. The construction (rigging) of the tour meets the safety regulations specified by the ACCT (Association for Challenge Course Technology), considering our tour one of the safest in Costa Rica.
