You step onto the first platform as the dry forest exhales around you—branches creak and the air warms. Below, the lowlands spread toward the Pacific and the wind tugs at your harness; the next cable calls you across a corridor of tall Guanacaste and fig trees. Each zip feels like cutting across layered open country, with howler monkeys and iguanas watching the passage from sun-splashed limbs.

You step onto the first platform as the dry forest exhales around you—branches creak and the air warms.

Each zip feels like cutting across layered open country, with howler monkeys and iguanas watching the passage from sun-splashed limbs.
This family-run farm dates to 1930, when Usebio Arrieta López established cattle and crops on these slopes; the land now mixes agricultural history with recreation. Geologically the area is rolling volcanic foothills, eroded to gentle ridgelines that make long, high cables practical—some runs reach 1,800 feet and platforms sit up to 390 feet above the valley.
Culturally the experience blends local hospitality and bilingual guides who point out native dry-forest species and explain seasonal rhythms: green in the wet months, dustier and golden in the dry. The operation supports nearby communities by sourcing produce and guiding staff locally.
Practical guidance: rides last about three hours including transport from Tamarindo; expect easy-to-moderate exertion and short walks between platforms. Wear closed-toe shoes, bring sun protection and water, and secure loose items—phones should be tethered or left behind. Morning departures are cooler and drier; afternoons can bring wind or brief tropical showers. The course is family-friendly but not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with spinal or serious heart conditions. Respect wildlife—observe from a distance and avoid feeding animals to keep this dry forest wild for the next zipliner.
