Original Canopy Zip-Line Adventure at The Congo Trail
See the Guanacaste forest from an entirely different perspective on The Congo Trail's Original Canopy Tour.
Travel through the treetops on 10 zipline cables and 3 hanging bridges, with flights ranging from approximately 50 to 400 meters and heights reaching up to 30 meters above the forest floor.
It's the classic Congo Trail canopy experience—exciting enough to give you a real adrenaline rush while remaining accessible to families and first-time zipliners.
Your Adventure Begins in the Treetops
Before entering the course, your professional guides will fit you with your harness, helmet and required safety equipment and provide a complete safety briefing.
Then it's time for the moment you've been waiting for: Clip into the first cable, leave the platform behind and experience the feeling of flying between the giant trees of Guanacaste.
As you progress, each platform leads you deeper into the course. Some flights are short and fast, while others stretch hundreds of meters through the forest, including cables reaching approximately 400 meters in length.
Between ziplines, cross 3 hanging bridges suspended among the trees and take a moment to look around—you could be standing as high as 30 meters above the forest floor.
Keep Your Eyes on the Canopy
The adventure takes place within Guanacaste's natural forest, so the scenery is part of the experience.
Keep an eye on the surrounding treetops as you move between platforms. Monkeys and other wildlife may sometimes be spotted traveling through the canopy around you.
The Original Canopy is open to participants ages 3 and older when accompanied by an adult, making it an exciting way for families to experience the Guanacaste forest together.
10 cables. 3 hanging bridges. Up to 30 meters above the forest floor.
Clip in, step off the platform and discover why ziplining has become one of Costa Rica's signature adventures.
