The Experience

Before You Go

Book for the dry season if possible

Dry months (roughly December–April) have more consistent flight operations and clearer platform access, reducing cancellations and muddy approaches.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect toes during landings, approach trails, and the rappel sections.

Hydrate before the activity

Bring water and drink ahead of the canopy; humidity and climbing raise exertion quickly on the course.

Bring a quick-dry towel

A small towel is useful for the natural pool swim and for drying off before the transfer back to the hotel.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask guides about a small viewpoint off the main trail that overlooks a valley-side waterfall for quieter photos
  • The hotel’s short labyrinth trail and early-morning coffee terrace offer calm sunrise views without a long hike

Wildlife

  • Toucans and tanagers around the canopy platforms
  • Howler monkeys in the riparian corridors near waterfalls

Conservation Note

Operators typically limit group sizes and use established platforms to reduce forest impact; visitors should stick to trails and avoid feeding wildlife to minimize disturbance.

The region shifted from small-scale agriculture and selective logging to adventure tourism in recent decades; many local guides are second-generation operators who grew up on nearby farms.

What to Bring

Closed-toe trail shoesEssential

Protects your feet during landings, approaches, and short hikes between platforms.

Towel and swimwearEssential

You’ll likely swim in a mountain pool after the course, so bring a towel and quick-dry swimwear.
