This tour visits a place that National Geographic has ranked one of the Top Ten Adventure Destinations in the World. The Aerial Treetop Flight Tram offers an amazing opportunity to enjoy Costa Rica's only tropical forest and to discover a fantastic private reserve.
The preserve has won Costa Rica's prestigious Ministry of Environment Blue Ecological Flag Award as well as the Ministry of Tourism's highest recognition for sustainability.
Hop into a comfortable gondola with a maximum of only nine passengers. The one-hour ride is your chance to take in the surroundings and silently glide through the forest canopy of the forest. Verdant plant life, hanging gardens and pretty waterfalls are part of the exhilarating aerial views over this 222-acre conservation park. Watch for wildlife and for views of the Pacific Ocean right from your seat.
This is also one of the few areas in Costa Rica where scarlet macaws sometimes majestically soar above the treetops or sit in the trees. Keep an eye out for this elusive bird.
Next, a guided nature walk on an all-access path exposes the first layer of the forest floor.
Visit the Butterfly Garden and the Medicinal & Aromatic Plants Garden.
Your excursion includes a traditional Costa Rican lunch of local cuisine at the Nature Café. Any spare time you may have can be spent at the Rainforest Gift Shop among a variety of local and handmade arts, crafts and designs, as well as Costa Rican souvenirs.
