La Pirámide Park Walk and Fly Zipline — Durango’s Longest Forest Flight

The Experience
Before You Go
Wear secure, closed-toe shoes
Closed-toe, grippy footwear keeps your feet stable in the harness and on uneven approaches to platforms.
Hydrate and eat lightly beforehand
Bring water and a light snack—two hours of activity at altitude can sap energy quickly.
Follow health restrictions
Not recommended for pregnant guests or anyone with serious heart or spinal conditions—disclose issues when booking.
Protect small electronics
Use a wrist strap or leave phones in a zippered pocket; loose items can be hazardous on the line.
