You step off the platform and the rainforest leans in, the canopy closing like a living roof as the zipline pulls you forward. Below, the understory churns with life: palms ripple, a distant river dares you with its white ribbon, and birds slice the humid light. For the next stretch—part roar, part silence—you skim 2.5 miles of cable across Mayflower Bocawina National Park, the Caribbean widening on the horizon and jungle scents rising with each pulley click.

Footwear
Wear closed-toe trail shoes with good tread—rocky, wet approaches to waterfalls get slick quickly.
