The adventure begins
when you arrive to the stables and the guides give you
an idea of your tour, then you get part of the equipment
and you horseback ride for approximately 40 minutes.
When we arrive at our destination, we give you the rest
of the equipment necessary then we continue with a short
walk through the transitional forest where a guide points
out things that prevail in the rain forest. Some times
it is possible to see several species of animals, such
as white faced and howler monkeys, rodents, snakes,
and a great diversity of birds. As well as an enormous
variety of orchids, and canopy plant life. The trees
we use are adults that tower above, the platforms are
at an elevation of 150 feet (45 mts).
All the platforms are designed for observation of life
rather than damage of it. Trees like Cocora (billia
hippocastanum); Peine de mico (apeiba membranacea),
and Capulín (mortoniodendron apetala) just to
name a few. After the hike we arrive at the first platform
where the ride begins. You can´t help but be overwhelmed
by the beauty as you glide through the forest on the
seven cables. Our shortest cable is 195 ft (60 mts)
and our longest is 650 ft (203 mts).
All the equipment we use is very safe and simple, and
will be handled by the guides so you can sit back and
enjoy the day. The construction (rigging) of the tour
meets the safety regulations specified by the ACCT (Association
for Challenge Course Technology), considering our tour
one of the safest in Costa Rica.
