Harnessed and ready, you’ll launch into 12 canopy cables that weave through treetops and canyons, offering a unique bird’s-eye perspective of nature. As you glide, the Arenal Volcano and nearby Cerro Chato will frame your ride, and you’ll pass over two spectacular waterfalls. After the ziplines, your guide leads you on a peaceful forest walk to ground your experience in nature. The journey concludes with a meaningful stop at the Maleku Cultural Rescue Center, where you'll learn about the traditions and way of life of the Maleku people.
