Launch across White River Canyon on seven ziplines, tackle a 20-meter rappel, and swing Tarzan-style from platforms set above volcanic rock. This guided canopy circuit at Hacienda Guachipelin packs climbing, bridges and river views into a 90–120 minute adventure.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The first platform perches above a narrow canyon carved by the White River; wind threads through the trees and the canyon seems to dare you to move faster. Guides clip harnesses, murmur quick safety checks, and the forest answers with bird calls and the distant rush of water. Over the next 90–120 minutes participants cross seven zip cables, a swinging hanging bridge, two Tarzan-style swings, a controlled 20-meter (65-foot) rappel, via ferrata climbs and a natural rock-climb wall — a concentrated dose of canopy adrenaline on a compact route.
