Zip Line Canopy Tours in Costa Rica
A great holiday can often be all about new experiences, and if you have never tried ziplining through the canopy of a rainforest before, now’s your chance. As with all zipline canopy tours in Costa Rica, safety is a priority, and most tours have an introductory session for those who have never experienced the thrill of ziplining before.
Experienced supervisors are always on hand to ensure your safety during the tour, and ensure your enjoyment of such an amazing zipline experience. Ziplining gives you the chance to get off the beaten track, far from the main city of San Jose, and to immerse yourself in the wonderful, verdant Costa Rican countryside, while also adding some adrenaline-pumping excitement to your vacation, at just the right price too.
It’s a great option if the tropical climate of Costa Rica has brought in a few clouds and the weather’s not perfect for lying on the beach all day, take to the rainforest canopy, and jump on a zipline!
For those who have never been on a ziplining tour in Costa Rica before, the easiest way to describe it is to strap yourself into a safety harness, attach yourself to a free-running pulley wheel on a downward-sloping steel rope – the zipline – then let go. Gravity propels you across canyons, rivers and treetops, the latter also being referred to as a canopy tour, where you travel at treetop height.
With huge respect to the natural environment, zipline tours in Costa Rica aim to have minimal impact on the rainforest ecosystem. An activity that immerses you in nature, with zero cost to the planet.
