Soar the slopes of Arenal Volcano on a double-rope canopy tour that mixes long ziplines, tree platforms and a 40 m Tarzan Swing. This La Fortuna adventure pairs high-adrenaline exposure with rainforest viewing and local wildlife spotting.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the platform and the forest exhales: a breeze that rubs the leaves, the volcano’s bulk watching from the ridge. Cables hum under your weight as you launch over rainforest canopy, the valley dropping away and the town of La Fortuna shrinking like a postcard below. The Tarzan Swing waits later in the route — a deliberate void that asks you to let go and trust the harness and the forest.
