The platform tilts and the Pacific wind takes a breath—then you push off. From the first cable the rainforest opens beneath you, leaves brushing like hands as you fly toward ocean glimpses that puncture the canopy. The route uses 10 cables and 12 platforms reached by a short tractor climb, so the high points trade dense green for horizon lines of blue.
