  OUTDOOR RECREATION - Original Canopy Tour

The ORIGINAL CANOPY TOUR® offers the adventurous tourist an exhilarating opportunity to soar through the forest treetops high above the forest floor. There you will view jungle life from a perspective previously reserved for a select group of researchers and photographers.

As many know Costa Rica has some of the most beautiful rain forests in the world and hiking through the rain forest is definitely a good way to see the forest however a new way of viewing the wildlife has become the trend lately, Canopy Tours. These Canopy Tours were invented because most of the wildlife in the forest is at the canopy level of the forest and what a better way to see it than to be in the Canopy.

There are several walkways or skywalks through out Costa Rica that have a bridge strung across a valley where you can walk above the canopy and get a birds eye view of the top of the forest. There is also an aerial tram that is a gondola that slowly motors through the canopy giving the tourist a unique view of the forest. However the most popular form of Canopy Tours is the kind where there are platforms build into the strongest trees and then a zip line is strung in between the trees and tourist are then sent zipping between the trees. You are tied in with a harness and then sent at high speeds from one tree to another until the end of the line and then you allowed to transverse down from the final platform to the ground. It is an adrenalin filled experience and it is definitely for the more adventurous tourist

These Canopy Tours are not without risk, because this activity is become popular many small outfits have popped up throughout the country that offer these Canopy Tours and some of these do not have the correct safety equipment. Make sure that you are securely fastened into your harness and that you have two straps one for the ride and the other for backup
