Monteverde 4-in-1 Sky Tram and Canopy Adventure: Zipline, Hanging Bridges & Treetop Challenge
Move through Monteverde’s cloud forest on a tram, soar across seven ziplines — including a zip-bike — walk six hanging bridges, and tackle a treetop ropes course. Three hours of guided, high-canopy adventure with wildlife viewing and strong safety protocols.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a lightweight rain shell
Cloud forest weather changes fast; a waterproof layer keeps you warm between platforms and during drizzle.
Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes
Trails and platforms can be wet and slippery — sturdy sneakers or approach shoes improve stability on ziplines and bridges.
Hydrate and eat beforehand
The combo runs about three hours with short hikes; a light snack and water will keep energy steady.
Follow your guide’s instructions
Braking, body position and when to let go are taught on-site — accurate timing keeps the course safe and fun.

Conservation Note
Operators limit platform capacity and rely on established trails; stay on marked paths and avoid disturbing epiphytes to protect fragile canopy ecosystems.
Monteverde’s conservation legacy grew from 1950s Quaker settlers and local conservationists who helped protect the cloud forest and create research reserves.
