Some 70 percent of all life in the tropical forest exists at the canopy level. During this tour, you’ll fly along zip-lines and experience the forest canopy in a new, exhilarating way.

This canopy tour takes place at the Hacienda Pozo Azul, which is just outside the town of La Virgen de Sarapiquí. The canopy tour has 12 cables and 17 platforms, 7 of which are built onto trees that are between 60 and 90 feet (18 m - 27 m) high. This tour begins at the edge of a canyon and crosses the canyon several times before reaching the ending point.

After checking in at the reception desk, you’ll be fitted with equipment and learn about what the equipment does. From here a tractor wagon will take you to the launching point, where you’ll meet your guides and receive instructions and a safety presentation. Once you’re ready, you’ll strap into the first zip-line and head off.

The setting at Hacienda Pozo Azul is beautiful. You’ll have unparalleled views into the jungle and the opportunity to spot birds and other animals. The equipment here is first-class and the guides are trained and professional. All of this ensures an incredible experience.

Long pants, closed-toed shoes, insect repellent, and camera.
