5 Ziplining Secrets for an Unforgettable Experience

 

Canopy tours, also known as ziplining or zip lines in different parts of the world, are an adventure activity that lets you glide from one point to another via a cable. While gravity is key to their operation, and they're still used by farmers in mountainous regions today, in Costa Rica, zip lines have become one of the most sought-after attractions in adventure parks.


Today, ziplining is a must-do activity when visiting Costa Rican destinations like Monteverde, Arenal, or Rincón de la Vieja, Guanacaste. Get ready to discover why every flight is a unique adventure.


1. Every Ride Is Unique and Unforgettable!

This means you can enjoy multiple tours during your vacation in Costa Rica, and each one will surprise you differently!


2. Safety Comes First!
