The Experience

Before You Go

Hydration & electrolytes

Bring a 1–2L reusable water bottle and electrolyte mix — the combination of humidity, climbs and zipline adrenaline depletes fluids quickly.

Footwear grip

Wear closed-toe trail shoes with good tread; platforms and pool approaches get slick after rain.

Protect electronics

Use a waterproof case or dry bag for phones and cameras — waterfalls and river spray are constant companions.

Clothing layers

Quick-dry fabrics are best; mornings can be cool on ridges and afternoons hot in the valleys, so pack a light wind layer.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Sunset viewpoint above the main zipline platforms — less crowded late afternoon for gulf panoramas
  • Short interpretive trail near the hotel that highlights native fruit trees and birding spots

Wildlife

  • Keel-billed toucan
  • White-faced capuchin monkey

Conservation Note

Operators typically follow strict trail and waste protocols to limit erosion and protect riparian zones; visitors are asked to avoid single-use plastics and stick to designated paths.

The region’s coastal communities grew around fishing and small-scale agriculture; many trails follow old cattle and farm roads repurposed for eco-adventure tourism.
