Canopy tours consist of a series of platforms and cables placed strategically throughout the forest.

Some tour companies offer safety connections while you are standing on the platform waiting to move to through to the next location.

If it's just a quiet laid-back walk you are looking for then you have to experience either the Monteverde or Santa Elena Reserve. Taking a nice walk on one of the few suspension bridges to get a view from above the trees of the forest bottom is spectacular! There are many spectacular sights to be seen from these incredible heights.

We encourage you to make sure and have your sunscreen, bug spray and a waterproof jacket for those rainy days. Being in the Costa Rica rainforest, the weather is often unpredictable, so better to be prepared than caught without protection from the elements. There are amazing wonders awaiting you in the Cloud Forest's of Monteverde, so make sure this adventure makes your short list. - 30231
