Viewing the scenic beauty of Costa Rican rainforests from above should be on everyones ‘Must Do List’. There’s no experience necessary to enjoy this truly memorable adventure. Canopy tours offer spectacular views as you zip from tree to tree via a series of connecting cables and platforms high above the ground.Canopy tours can be found throughout Costa Rica and although all of them are fun, some are better than others depending on what you’re looking for. The small Quaker community of Monteverde is where the first canopy tours began, and have since spread out all over the country. Most of Costa Rica’s national parks have good accredited canopy tour operators. This is truly an adrenalin filled experience that should not be missed.
Canopy zip line tours are definitely one of the most popular activities in Costa Rica. On the tour, you are hoisted up to a platform in a tree about 50 feet up, securely tied to a zip line and then sent flying to another platform in a tree via a zip line. (Note: Canopy weight limit is generally approx. 275 lbs.) With more than a quarter of Costa Rica covered in rainforests, one of the best ways to explore these truly magical and enchanting areas is via a canopy tour. Developed by US scientists, who were trying to study trees without touching the plant, animal and insect life on the limbs and trunks, canopy tours emerged as the perfect solution. A fantastic way to explore a truly unique habitat like the rainforests without disturbing the wildlife or endangering the trees themselves, canopy tours have become the ideal way to get a bird’s eye view of the forest below.
Though many people still believe that hiking is the best way to explore a rainforest, canopy tours are even better because the view they offer is often unparalleled and one also gets to see the flora and fauna in their natural environment. Additionally, with rainforests often having dense plant life, the environment on the ground can get pretty dark, thus making it difficult to see everything. Certainly not a sport for the faint hearted; however, canopy tours are definitely meant for the more adventurous tourists who enjoy the adrenaline rush. You'll want to do multiple canopy tours - as every time you do you'll see something different. Plus the first time or two you may not be paying close attention to the actual surroundings!
