You step off the pickup van into a wide farm clearing, humidity lifting as a breeze threads through gnarled Guanacaste trees. Ropes hum overhead; guides adjust harnesses and helmets while a distant howl of monkeys punctuates the hush. From the first platform the valley opens: lowland scrub and agricultural plots give way to the cobalt slice of the Pacific on the horizon.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You step off the pickup van into a wide farm clearing, humidity lifting as a breeze threads through gnarled Guanacaste trees. Ropes hum overhead; guides adjust harnesses and helmets while a distant howl of monkeys punctuates the hush. From the first platform the valley opens: lowland scrub and agricultural plots give way to the cobalt slice of the Pacific on the horizon.
The course sits on land owned by the same family for generations, a working farm carved into the province’s distinctive dry forest. Geology here is volcanic and erosional—rocky ridgelines fall to sedimentary lowlands—creating the height differentials that make long, high ziplines possible. Culturally, the area blends ranching traditions with growing eco-tourism; local guides often weave stories of seasonal fruiting trees and howler monkeys into safety briefings.
Expect nine cables, some reaching roughly 390 feet in vertical height and up to 1,800 feet long, strung between mountain ridges. The route moves steadily from platform to platform through dry forest canopy: hard-packed dirt trails, platform stairs, and short hikes between lines. Wildlife sightings are common—howler monkeys, coatis, and iguanas—so keep cameras ready but hands free for braking when instructed.
Practical notes: tour time is about three hours including transport; weight limit is 250 lbs; participants as young as four can ride with adults. Wear closed-toe shoes, long shorts or light pants, sun protection and a light rain layer in wet months. Hydrate before and after; if you have back or heart issues, this is not recommended. Book with hotel pickup if available and arrive ready for fast, professionally guided zipping across one of Costa Rica’s most scenic dry-forest corridors.
