More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Mist hangs in the canopy as riders clip in; the rainforest seems to lean forward, watching. From Liberia you drive into the volcanic flank of Rincón de la Vieja until the trees open over a blue river and a series of waterfalls. The course moves you along nine ziplines that thread treetop to treetop, cross gorge mouths and reveal peekaboo views of the lake and steaming volcanic ridgelines. A final adrenaline note comes from the Tarzan Swing — a body-weight launch that carries you over the river to the opposite bank.
