The Experience

Before You Go

Book Dry-Season Mornings

Choose a morning departure in the dry season (Dec–Apr) for clearer views and drier platforms; afternoons can be busy and wetter.

Wear Grippy Shoes

Closed-toe shoes with good tread help on platforms and bridges — flip-flops are not recommended.

Secure Your Camera

Bring a neck or chest strap for cameras and phones; operators may require small items be tethered or stored during zips.

Hydrate and Protect

Bring 1–2 liters of water and reef-safe sunscreen—the tropical sun and adrenaline both dehydrate quickly.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Look for small roadside fruit stands near the route offering fresh gallo pinto and tropical juices.
  • Ask guides about quiet lookout points between zips for unobstructed views of the rolling Guanacaste hills.

Wildlife

  • turkey vulture
  • motmot (a colorful canopy bird)

Conservation Note

Operators often support reforestation and responsible waste practices; stick to marked trails and avoid leaving single-use plastics to reduce impact.

The Guanacaste area blends indigenous Chorotega heritage with Spanish colonial history and long-standing cattle ranch traditions; many trails follow historic routes between settlements.
