The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive early

Plan to be at the park at least 30 minutes before your scheduled time for check-in, weight/height verification, and a safety briefing.

Follow weight/height rules

Operators enforce a 105–280 lb range and minimum 4 ft height for safety — bookings can be canceled if you don’t meet requirements.

Wear closed-toed shoes

Sturdy footwear and snug clothing reduce snag risk and make harnessing comfortable during the run.

Secure loose items

Leave phones, hats, and jewelry in a locker or with your group; only operator-approved mounts or a provided photo service are allowed on the line.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short viewpoint trails near the launch with panoramic valley outlooks
  • Local roadside coffee stands near Orocovis serving small-batch mountain coffee

Wildlife

  • Coquí (native tree frog) — often heard at dusk
  • Hummingbirds and other small forest birds in the understory

Conservation Note

Visitors are asked to stay on marked paths and pack out trash; supporting local guides and small businesses helps keep tourism benefits in the community.

The park sits within the Cordillera Central, an area long used for coffee and small farms; adventure tourism here is a recent development to diversify rural economies.

What to Bring

Close-toed hiking shoesEssential

Provide secure footing on platforms and during short walks to/from the launch.

Light rain jacket

Sun protection (hat, sunscreen)Essential

You’ll need ID and may be asked to confirm weight for safety checks at check-in.

La Bestia is about 1,446 meters (4,745 ft) — a single, long run where riders can reach roughly 60 mph (100 km/h) depending on weight and wind.

Are there weight or height restrictions?

Can I film the run with my phone or GoPro?

Most parks restrict personal handheld devices on the line; ask staff about approved mounts or the park’s photo service offered for runs.
