The Experience

Before You Go

Respect weight limits

Zipline and vehicle weight limits are strictly enforced—check limits ahead of booking to avoid disappointment.

Closed-toe shoes only

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes for dust, rocks and vehicle control; sandals are not allowed.

Bring a change of clothes

Plan to get wet at the riverside rest stop—pack a dry set and a small towel.

Carry insect repellent and sunscreen

Forest edges and riverbanks attract mosquitoes and strong sun; apply repellent and SPF before departures.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • River pools at Rancho Las Pilas for a quiet swim away from the main platforms
  • A short viewpoint on the return road with framed views of the bay at low haze mornings

Conservation Note

Operators often limit group sizes and emphasize leave-no-trace on river banks; avoid feeding wildlife and pack out waste to protect riparian habitats.

This coastal-slopes landscape was shaped by volcanic and fluvial processes; local ranching roads repurposed into adventure trails reflect the region’s transition to experiential tourism.
