You step off the speedboat with spray on your face and the bay’s horizon sliding away — the jungle swallows the sound of the engines and the Horcones River dares you downstream. From the landing, platforms rise through tree crowns where guides clip you in and the air narrows to a single wire that pulls you forward: 19 ziplines that rank among the longest and highest in the region.
