More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb metal stairs into a cloud-scoured morning; mist threads through the trees and the valley below breathes—river daring you from its narrow gorge. The day starts in the treetops: ten cables, ten platforms and a hanging bridge that park you in the canopy where toucans and howler monkeys keep watch. After lunch, a trestle bridge looms and the 150‑meter bungee drop makes the forest feel alive, the La Balsa river below a silver line that seems to pull the rope taut.
