The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

A sturdy pair of sneakers or trail shoes with good grip is mandatory—no sandals or open-toed footwear allowed.

Hydrate before you climb

Bring water and drink beforehand; humidity and exertion on the course can deplete you quickly.

Book morning slots

Early sessions are cooler, less buggy, and offer softer light for photography and wildlife sightings.

Tell them your cruise details

If arriving by cruise, provide ship name and docking times at booking so pickup aligns with reboarding windows.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Pause at the highest platform for a sweeping peek toward the Gulf of Nicoya on clear days
  • Chat with a guide after the course about local tree species and where to spot agoutis near the basecamp

Wildlife

  • Howler monkeys
  • Tropical birds like toucans and motmots

Conservation Note

The operator emphasizes minimal tree attachment and regular gear inspection; guests are asked to avoid feeding wildlife and to carry out any trash to reduce impact.

The park grew with Costa Rica’s adventure-tourism boom, leveraging private land in Puntarenas province to create canopy experiences that complement, rather than replace, traditional beach and fishing economies.
