The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive hydrated

Bring a full, refillable water bottle—the park has refill stations but the day is active and tropical heat builds quickly.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or trail shoes make moving between platforms, ladders and short hikes safer and more comfortable.

Time your flight window

Book morning slots when winds are lighter for calmer zipline runs and clearer views of the bay.

Weight and age limits

Children are typically welcome but operators enforce age/weight restrictions—provide age bands at booking and confirm limits ahead of time.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Playa Maderas—short drive north for a quieter surf beach and coastal viewpoints
  • A low-traffic trail behind the Cristo viewpoint that offers coastal panoramas without the main crowds

Wildlife

  • Howler monkeys
  • Tropical birds such as toucans and motmots

Conservation Note

The park operates within a private reserve and emphasizes minimal-impact trails and habitat preservation—use refillable bottles and follow guide instructions to limit erosion and disturbance.

San Juan del Sur grew from a small Pacific fishing port into a surf and visitor town; the Cristo de la Misericordia is a prominent hilltop landmark overlooking the bay.
