La Fortuna Cloud-Forest Zipline & 150m Bungee Leap — Canopy, Tarzan Swing and Superman Cable
Soar through a cloud forest on ten zipline cables and platforms, take the Tarzan swing, then finish with a 150 m bungee leap over the La Balsa River. This full-day combo blends aerial thrills with rainforest scenery and certified safety.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear secure, closed-toe shoes
Trails between platforms can be muddy and ladders are metal—avoid sandals or loose footwear.
Hydrate and eat light before the jump
Six hours of activity plus adrenaline can unsettle your stomach—drink water and choose a balanced lunch.
Protect electronics on ziplines
Use a wrist strap or chest-mounted case for cameras; loose phones are not allowed on the bungee section.
Schedule morning departures
Mornings usually offer more stable weather and clearer views through cloud layers.

Conservation Note

The San Carlos region shifted from cattle ranching to ecotourism in recent decades; canopy tours grew as infrastructure near Arenal developed.
