Itinerary
Meet your guide at your hotel prior to your selected morning or afternoon departure time and head to a private reserve and adventure park, located just minutes from downtown Monteverde. Your tour begins in the primary, old-growth section of the cloud forest and moves to the newer secondary forest, offering a broad perspective of life cycles in the forest. Start your trip with a zipline tour over the canopy, providing a heart-pounding view of the cloud forest below. Then, rappel 150 feet down to the forest floor. A ladder system through the hollow core of an old tree brings you back up into the treetops, and an optional Tarzan swing free-fall experience brings you back down. Guides accompany you through every step of the adventure to ensure your safety and entertainment, as well as to answer questions about the local ecosystem. Get dropped off back at your hotel or other specified drop-off location in Monteverde at the end of your adventure.

5Our guides Frij and...
Our guides Frij and Daniel were amazing. Took excellent care of the group including 4 kids - and made the experience fun and safe - even for the nervous adults! An incredible experience in the cloud forest canopy with amazing views. So worth it!
5Wonderful experience and...
Wonderful experience and you get jump right into it. Staff were very friendly and accommodating for anyone with fear of heights.
5A wonderful view of the tropical rainforest and personal challenge for me.
Booking online and paying was super easy. Instructions about meeting spot was very clear and driver of mini bus was there to greet us when we arrived. Our 2 guides, Elian and his George ( may have this name wrong), were super caring, encouraging and very good with 3 kids ( ages 9, 7 and 5) who were in the group. They ensured the 5-year old was well looked after. I faced the scariest experience of climbing that ladder but at no time did I feel I was in danger. Loved the experience !!
5Safe and good experience
Guide - Daniel very good (lily had two guides) plenty of time for me. Definitely recommend a visit - very safe.

About Monteverde
Monteverde is a mountain community in Costa Rica's cloud forest, known for misty reserves, hanging bridges, birdlife and coffee farms.
Monteverde is a scattering of farms and small villages on the Tilarán Mountains, around 1,400 metres up, where moist winds from the Caribbean wrap the ridge in cloud. Quaker families from the United States settled here in the 1950s and began dairy farming, and they helped protect the forest above. The Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve and the neighbouring Santa Elena Reserve preserve mossy trees, ferns, orchids and hanging vines.
Top-ranked sights in Monteverde: Curi-Cancha Reserve, Selvatura Park, Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve (Reserva Bosque Nuboso Santa Elena).
