The Fortuna Canopy Tour begins with pick up at your hotel and then a 45 minute horseback ride through pastures and streams up a muddy trail to where we tied off the horses. This stop is where the rainforest begins and is also the last platform of the canopy tour. From this point we have a small hike up a hill to the first platform where we are given instructions before we take our first zip line. The canopy tour is a series of heavy-duty cables from platform to platform in trees. From the first platform a zip line lands you at another platform in a tree, 115 feet above the ground. While in the tree, we walk up a several steps to a higher platform and another zip line. After three zip lines we rappel 90 feet from a tree platform to the ground. From this point we walk down hill a short distance to the last and longest zip line, which brings us to the end where the horses await. Back onto the horses and back to our hotels.
The Fortuna Canopy Tour is about 5 hours with pickup at your hotel at 8:30. The cost is $44 dollars and can be booked via www.arenaltouristica.com or just about any tour company in town.
