Clip in, step off the platform and watch the forest canopy unfold beneath your feet, with the cone of Arenal Volcano on the horizon.
Some landscapes are best understood from above. On this Arenal zipline tour, you leave the forest floor behind and travel through the treetops, harness on, from one platform to the next, while the outline of Arenal Volcano rises over the green hills of the region.
The course links 12 carbon fiber cables and 13 platforms over nearly 3 kilometers. Along the way, one long cable of 450 to 500 meters carries you across the valley, and at certain points you glide up to 70 meters above the ground. The whole experience lasts about an hour and a half, enough time to find your rhythm and start taking in the views between descents.
This zipline in Arenal is a simple way to add a dose of adrenaline to your stay in the area, whether you love outdoor sports or simply want to see Costa Rica from a different angle. The activity is guided, entrance fees and the 13% tourism tax are covered, and our team in San Francisco de Heredia remains available to help you organize the day.
Once you are fitted with your harness and gear, the first platform awaits at the edge of the trees. From there, you glide from cable to cable across 12 carbon fiber lines and 13 platforms, covering nearly 3 kilometers of rainforest. The air rushes past, the foliage blurs below, and between runs the forest opens onto wide views of Arenal Volcano and the surrounding green countryside. The highlight is a cable of 450 to 500 meters, where you hang as high as 70 meters above the ground before landing on the next platform. Over roughly an hour and a half, the thrill of speed mixes with quieter moments to look around and listen to the forest. Meals and drinks are not included, so plan your lunch around the activity.
