Ziplining, the closest experience to flying a human can have without sprouting wings! Suspended by strong steel cables strategically placed within the jungle, you’ll get a monkey’s-eye view soaring over Costa Rica’s rainforest canopy. Many private and national parks have taken great care to incorporate miles of cables and platforms with the least amount of impact on the natural environment, often bringing in building materials by hand and using fastening techniques that do not harm the bark of giant old growth trees. Professional guides fit you with safety equipment and connect you to the ziplines. You step off the platform and gravity does the rest! You’ll likely feel the adrenaline as you silently soar through the tree tops experiencing unimaginable views of the jungle and surrounding areas. Amazing ziplining experiences are available from Arenal, Jaco, Quepos, Monteverde, and the Rincon de la Vieja area among others.
