Ultimate Costa Rica Zipline Over 11 Waterfalls — 18-Line Canopy Tour
Fly across 11 waterfalls on Costa Rica’s longest canopy route: 18 ziplines, a canyon rappel, a Tibetan bridge and a swim in a waterfall pool. This quick guide lays out what to expect, how to prepare and why the views are worth the rush.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy trainers or hiking shoes protect your feet on platforms and on the short hikes between lines.
Bring a small dry bag
Keep your phone, ID and sunscreen dry during the rappel and pool segment.
Hydrate and eat lightly beforehand
You’ll exert energy during climbs and shuttles—drink water and have a light snack 30–60 minutes before the start.
Follow guide photo protocol
Ask guides about helmet-mounted or guide-shot photos rather than handling devices while clipped in.

Conservation Note
Operators emphasize low-impact routes and limit group sizes; stay on marked paths and avoid leaving any trash to protect riparian habitats and waterfall pools.
The Miramar area grew around coastal and agricultural trade routes; hillside coffee cultivation dates back to 19th-century settlement patterns that shaped local roads and viewpoints.
