The Experience

Before You Go

Sturdy sports shoes with good tread are required—they protect your feet on platforms and during any short hikes between lines.

Secure small cameras

Bring a compact camera on a wrist or chest strap; large loose items are usually not allowed on the lines.

Time your visit for morning light

Mornings are cooler and drier, improving visibility for waterfall views and birdwatching.

El Valle de Antón sits in a volcanic caldera and has long been an agricultural valley; the ridgelines used for ziplines now overlook former coffee and fruit terraces.
