Fly through a cloud forest on ten cables and then leap 150 meters above La Balsa River on a trestle bungee. This combined canopy-and-bungee day trip from La Fortuna pairs high‑adrenaline stunts with immersive natural-history sights.
The day opens with mist clinging to the crowns of giant trees and the measured hum of cables stretching into the cloud forest. Participants start at a high ridge on a 500‑acre reserve, clipped into harnesses and guided across eight platforms and ten cables that total 1,045 m of flying corridor. The canopy ride threads you through low cloud, past bromeliads and epiphytes, and across a hanging bridge where the forest briefly hushes.

The day opens with mist clinging to the crowns of giant trees and the measured hum of cables stretching into the cloud forest. Participants start at a high ridge on a 500‑acre reserve, clipped into harnesses and guided across eight platforms and ten cables that total 1,045 m of flying corridor. The canopy ride threads you through low cloud, past bromeliads and epiphytes, and across a hanging bridge where the forest briefly hushes.
This corridor sits on the eastern slopes near La Fortuna, an area shaped by volcanic soils and steep drainage that feeds rivers like La Balsa. The region’s recent geological activity created the rugged relief that makes long cables and trestle bungee possible. Culturally, La Fortuna is a hub for outdoor guiding; many local guides combine technical rope work with natural-history interpretation, so expect commentary on birds, monkeys, and the cloud forest’s ecological role.
After a midday lunch the program shifts gears: a certified Jump Master supervises a 150‑meter bungee leap from a trestle bridge over the La Balsa River. The shock of freefall is immediate; ropes and crews control rebound and recovery.
Practical notes: the full activity runs about six hours with hotel pickup and drop‑off included. Operators provide all climbing and bungee gear and safety briefing. Dress in closed‑toe shoes, layered quick‑dry clothing, and bring insect repellent, sunscreen and a small daypack. The tour runs in most weather—expect wet trails in rainy months—and is not recommended for pregnant travelers. For questions about specific weight or medical limits, confirm with the operator before booking.
