Ever wondered what it would be like to soar like a bird?  The Big AMA Canopy Zipline Tour will certainly fulfill that fantasy!

Located just outside of La Fortuna and near the colossal Arenal Volcano, this canopy zipline tour is conveniently located close to most area hotels.  After being picked up for your tour, you will be brought to the Arenal Mundo Aventuras grounds.  Your group will then take a 20-minute tractor ride through the fields and up to the jungle.  You will then hike in another 15 – 20 minutes uphill to the course.

On arrival, your guide will provide and fasten your harnesses.  Once everybody is ready to go a brief safety presentation will be provided. 

Despite the name, the Big AMA now offers 12 ziplines with a full course length of over 3 kilometers!  This is one of the fastest courses in Costa Rica and among the most interesting.  The highlight of the tour is a cable that traverses the canyon in front of the gorgeous La Fortuna Waterfall.  This zipline is up to 120 meters high and 980 meters long!

After the ziplining adventure, you will have the opportunity to visit the onsite Maleku Indigenous Cultural Rescue Center to learn about their culture.

At the end, you will be brought back to your La Fortuna area hotel.  Including round-trip transportation, this thrilling adventure usually lasts around 3.5 hours, though this can vary based on a variety of factors.  The adventure includes transportation and guides.

This tour is HIGHLY recommended!

We had so much fun! They were great with our kids and teens. Great adventure and more intense than ziplines we have done in the past. I wish we would have brought a go pro to make videos.

This was a great experience. There should be a little more information about the hiking involved in case people aren't up for that (we were fine). Otherwise a great experience.

This was an amazing experience for the whole family. I read reviews that people didn’t like the tractor ride at the beginning, but I didn’t mind the bumpy ride because I was ready for it. I was nervous about the 20 min stair walk after the tractor, but if you take breaks it is doable. The staff is encouraging and does not push you past your limit. They gave good directions and were willing to repeat anything for the group. The views were spectacular!! They had 2-3 water stations. Most of the guides were very friendly and patient. One of our favorite parts of the trip!
