Fly without wings through canopy zip lines

There are obvious reasons why Costa Rican vacations are sought-after. The varied landscapes, rich biodiversity, strategic geography and topography, mild climate and well-developed tourism infrastructures make getaways in this destination simply magnificent and unique.

Book your accommodations at Hotel La Mariposa to maximize the enjoyment you could derive from a well-planned and anticipated Costa Rican getaway. The hotel is a tourism attraction in itself, being an ‘Eden on a ridge.’ La Mariposa Hotel sits comfortably on a hillside where it cozily overlooks the pristine Pacific Ocean and the nearby Manuel Antonio National Park. Needless to say, vacationers get to instantly enjoy picturesque views of the rainforest, the sky and the blue ocean all at the same time. Your stay at the hotel gives you instant and easy access (through booking) to different vacation activities, including canopy tour, a mildly extreme adventure that started in the country.

If you are seeking for a truly unique, fun, thrilling and breathtaking vacation experience, try out the canopy tour offered at Manuel Antonio, a beautiful town touted as an adventure capital and one of Costa Rica’s most popular tourist destinations. See the view from atop and feel how it is to be flying along with the numerous species of birds, which roam across the skyline of rainforest. Not only will you be able to appreciate the beauty of nature. You will also get the chance to spot several highlights of the rich biodiversity like poison dart frogs, the Titi monkeys, coatis, anteaters, toucans and tropical plant species that are natural to the area’s wilderness.

Canopy tour is no less than an extreme adventure in anyone’s lifetime. It may prompt an immediate surge of adrenaline and nervousness down any person’s spine, but the unique experience is truly a must try. Canopy tour is best for all ages. You will get to travel by air suspended along steel cables hanging from platform to platform. Fly across all 21 platforms and get to enjoy the natural humidity of the tropical rainforest.

Safety has never been, and will never be, an issue in canopy tours. To begin with the cables used were specifically designed and installed by expert engineers to facilitate overall safety in this wonderful adventure activity. All activity infrastructures and components have meticulously undergone inspection and approval from the International Association of Challenge Course Technologies. You will be equipped with rock-climbing harness to further assure safety. A safety orientation and training session is conducted prior to any canopy tour session.

At an average speed of 40 kilometers per hour, get to enjoy the best, most thrilling and most spectacular two hours of your life. Enjoy the sights as you traverse from platform to platform across horizontal traverse cables. Prepare to see the beauty of rainforest, from thick trees to waterfalls to, as mentioned, the unique biodiversity. Plus, get to enjoy breathing the surge of the freshest, coolest air, which also feels good to the skin.

Canopy touring is best during the morning, when the sun is not scorching hot, the air is still misty and cool and all living things around and beneath the zip lines are still greeting the day with brushes of zest and energy. As an added perk, get to enjoy a sumptuous and energy-packed Costa Rican breakfast, served before the safety lessons with the cheerful professional guides. At the end of the line, the canopy tour will be capped by an equally mouth-watering Tico-style lunch, served after you take a swim in a pool or take some rest to enjoy the tranquil setting following the zip line experience. All that and more at Hotel La Mariposa in Costa Rica.
