The Experience

Before You Go

Secure loose items

Carry a small clip or use the provided locker—phones and sunglasses can fall on faster lines.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes improve footwork on platforms and during short hikes between zips.

Hydrate before you go

Bring a 1‑liter water bottle—tropical humidity and adrenaline dehydrate quickly during the 4‑hour outing.

Listen to the guide

Brake technique and proper body position are taught on site—follow directions to avoid abrupt stops on lines.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

Wildlife

Conservation Note

Operators usually limit group sizes and mark trails to reduce erosion; visitors should stay on designated paths, avoid litter, and respect wildlife.

The Sierra Madre foothills have long supported small ranching communities; Rancho Capomo blends recreational use with traditional local life, including cooking and tequila tasting experiences.
