Overview

Your adventure begins at Veragua Rainforest, a 200-acre mountain reserve praised by National Geographic Traveler and home to the world-famous Original Canopy Tour. Cross 11 zipline traverses and 11 platforms suspended among old- and new-growth rainforest, with the tropical landscape unfolding beneath you.

After soaring through the treetops, continue to the Tortuguero Canals, often called Costa Rica’s Amazon. From the boat, scan the forest canopy and riverbanks for sloths, monkeys, toucans, crocodiles, iguanas, aquatic birds, and other wildlife living freely throughout this remarkable ecosystem.
