Bus Tour

You clip into a harness while the forest breathes around you — damp, green air that tastes faintly of earth and citrus. Footing on the lower platforms is deliberately ordinary, a counterpoint to the vertigo that arrives when you step onto the first swinging plank. Above, the canopy shifts like a living roof; below, gullies and distant mountains press the horizon. For two hours the course dares you: narrow bridges wobble, zip lines sing, and a series of 33 elements lengthen that edge between play and resolve.

Adventure Tips

Closed-toe shoes only

The park requires closed-toe shoes—sturdy trail runners or sneakers provide grip on swinging elements and platforms.

Hydrate and snack lightly

Bring a 500–1000 ml water bottle and a small snack; high humidity and exertion make steady fluids important.

Arrive early for briefings

Plan to arrive at least 20 minutes before your time to complete safety paperwork and get a full harness fitting without rushing.

Prepare for sudden rain

Carry a lightweight packable rain shell or poncho; tropical showers can make platforms slippery and staff may pause elements.

History

The Puntarenas coast developed as a fishing and port corridor; more recently, small-scale adventure operators have repurposed ridge-side properties to offer canopy and ropes courses to visiting travelers.

Conservation

The park operates within secondary rainforest and emphasizes minimal-impact routes and professional rigging to protect trees and reduce trail erosion; visitors are asked to avoid leaving litter and to respect wildlife distances.
