Canopy Tour

What a fun experience! A canopy tour is a total tourist trap, and you'll find them all over Costa Rica, but the best ones are around Monteverde. Several companies offer them, and we found Selvatura to have the best combination of price and extensive grounds.

A canopy tour involves 15 zip lines through different levels of the cloud forest... mostly in or above the canopy of the trees. It is an adrenaline rush mixed with breathtaking views. It is done in fairly large groups with experienced, very friendly local guides, and safety is taken very seriously.

This is easily combined for an extra $5 or $10 with their canopy bridges, which is a walk with varying lengths of bridges, again, in or almost above the canopy of the forest. This allows a little bit slower pace for observing the nature and taking pictures. It also turns a 2 hour activity into a full afternoon outing.

You can sign up for any of the canopy tours (they have approximately four per day) at their office in town, as late as the day of. Student discounts are available.
