Climb a 92-step hanging stair to transparent bubbles and platforms up to 60m above a Costa Rican tropical forest, rappel back down, and spend the night listening to the Caribbean canopy. Guided, gear-included, and ideal for adventurous beginners.
Climb a 92-step hanging stair to transparent bubbles and platforms up to 60m above a Costa Rican tropical forest, rappel back down, and spend the night listening to the Caribbean canopy. Guided, gear-included, and ideal for adventurous beginners.
The trail begins with humid air and the steady creak of a hanging stairway as you climb 92 steps into a tropical crown. At 45 meters a transparent bubble perches over the understory; farther up, ladder-mesh leads to platforms at 55m and more than 60m where the forest opens toward the Caribbean horizon. Night here is a chorus—frogs, howler monkeys and distant surf—interrupted only by the hiss of wind through buttress roots.

The coastline and low mountains of Limón were shaped by tectonic uplift and coastal sedimentation; these tall emergent trees grew on well-drained slopes and old river terraces. The area blends Afro-Caribbean culture with Bribri and Cabécar indigenous history—local guides often explain plant uses and stories that have sustained communities for generations.
This trip pairs adrenaline and immersion: guided climbs using industry-standard harnesses and helmets, a supervised pendulum swing from platform two, then a rappel of over 60m to descend. Participants spend one night on-platform accommodation or in the bubble, with breakfast served back at base. Expect basic but secure infrastructure—wifi and parking are available, and the operator enforces a 110kg weight limit and health restrictions for pregnant guests and those with serious heart or spinal conditions.
Practical tips: bring a compact headlamp for night moves, a breathable rain jacket, sturdy closed-toe shoes with good tread, and insect repellent. Hydrate before the climb and plan your sleep rhythms if you want the optional pre-dawn ascent to catch sunrise from the top platform. The experience runs about 15 hours total and is suitable for beginners under professional supervision—mental steadiness matters more than prior rope skills.
