I love out-of-the-way, rugged places

In the early morning, we took a bus to Selvatura Park to hike the hanging bridges and to go ziplining in Costa Rica’s Cloud Forest.

Selvatura Park has one of the longest Canopy Tours in Costa Rica and is the only canopy tour located inside the Monteverde Cloud Forest.  There are 13 ziplines in total, from 200m to 1km. The tour also includes a superman zipline (suspended from your back) and an optional Tarzan Swing at the end where you jump off a platform and plummet into the jungle.

The last zipline is about one kilometer long, and is very high above the forest canopy. Depending on the day, you may zipline right through the clouds.

And then onto the Tarzan Swing…

The whole tour took around 4 hours to complete with the bridges and the ziplines (could be possibly longer if there are people who are scared to jump). The crew was very helpful, extremely nice, and made sure that we had a safe and fun experience. They also took a lot of pictures of us (using my camera/phone) for free!

Tips for Ziplining Costa Ricas Cloud Forest

• Bring a water proof jacket, it sprinkles/rains a lot of the time.
• Go early – so you can take your time in the on the bridges and ziplining, also you will avoid the crowds.
