Mist threads the canopy as you step from the trailhead into the Monteverde Cloud Forest, the air cool and damp against your skin. Guides fit your harness and the forest seems to hold its breath; the first zipline releases you into a corridor of trunks and fog where cables hum and a Tarzan-style swing dares you to drop into the valley below.
