More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the first platform with the rainforest breathing around you—humid, loud with bird calls, and shot through by a river that seems to glow. Seven ziplines thread across the canyon above the Celeste River, and each run sends you skimming between canopy crowns and over steep ravines where the river dares you to look down.
