More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the wooden platform and the forest exhales around you — vines twitch, birds call, the mountains push the air under your feet. For the next four kilometers the canopy drifts beneath you: short, confidence-building runs give way to long, high lines that let the valley open and the Pacific light spill across the leaves. Guides clip you in, check your harness, and the line takes you out over a patchwork of tropical vegetation.
