Tour description: The slow-paced Sky Tram gondolas soar smoothly through the cloud forest, offering up endless views during their mountainous ascent. Accompanied by a bilingual guide, tour takers will be able to stop the tram at any point, a feature that allows for magnificent, one-of-a-kind photographs to be captured and tropical birds to be spotted. The Sky Tram ends in a wide observation area on the highest point of the Monteverde forest, also call the Continental Device of waters (The mountain range that divides the waters that goes to the Atlantic or the Pacific). You may stay as long as you wish on this area admiring the Nicoya gulf, Arenal volcano, the lake, the mountain range and the cloud forest, you may also take a short walk with our naturalist guides. This tour is a full age tour, even for people with some disability, thanks to the space of our gondolas that fit a wheelchair inside, without folding it. The first option is to ride back down the same way you came up, on the Sky Tram. On the ride you will be able to notice how the vegetation varies as the altitude changes once again. Get your heart pounding by taking a zip line ride through the Cloud forest canopy. Among the dozens of options, definitely the best is Sky Trek, where you’ll whizz along 1.7 miles of cables slung between towering trees. To get to the zip line, you’ll ride the Sky Tram (included in the Sky Trek experience), which offers a panoramic views of Monteverde hills and Nicoya gulf. You will ride an open-air gondola from the ground to the heights where you’ll be dropped off at an observation area for fantastic views of the gulf and cloud forest. From this area, choose to return to the ground below by riding the gondola back down or opt for a faster trip by riding down on a zip line stretching across canyons and between treetops, the exhilarating adventure of zip lining down the mountainside begins, ultimately returning you to the starting point at the main building.This is the most thrilling zip line in the country. Canopy tours, pioneered in Monteverde, use techniques developed by caves and canyon rapellers to let visitors experience the rainforest from a bird’s-eye view. You’ll whiz from lofty platform to platform via horizontal traverse cables, and while you’re moving too fast to see much wildlife it’s definitely a thrill. Built an industrial-strength, high-angle, breakneck-speed bona fide thrill ride and people love it. The zip line is simply there to add a little perspective so you can tell how high you are or how fast you’re going, and it adds a nice background to the photographs as well. Our major concern its safety, the prime objective of our staff is to provide a wonderful tour with a high standard of security, this is why the equipment is top quality like world class French made Petzl harnesses and helmets. SkyTrek is similar to other canopy tours in Costa Rica, but incorporates some significant differences, such as being of larger scale, with more ziplines and platforms. Further, the construction is of the highest quality, utilizing protective and secure materials, including metal platforms covered with mesh-covered steel rails which prevent falling or sliding. We will provide you the helmet, gloves and harnesses of the best quality in the world, so you will get the safest and most comfortable exciting experience you will get the safest and most comfortable exciting experience that you will never forget!
