Selvatura Park has its very own Canopy Tour adventure! Our tour is the only
canopy tour built entirely inside the cloud forest. In this tour, visitors will cross
through the unique cloud forest canopy suspended over the forest while
attached to a high weight capacity cable and using the best climbing gear which
combined provides with a wonderful experience that will not be easy to forget.
This tour not only combines the thrill of one of Costa Rica's most safe and
popular adventures, but also provides a unique view point of the cloud forest
canopy which was only possible to enjoy by scientists until recently.
The tour starts up at the main dressing room where our visitors will get geared
up and will be transported immediately to the instruction platform. At the
instruction platform our expert guides will instruct and provide our visitors with
all the necessary guidelines for a successful tour completion.
Next our visitors will be taken to the first platform where they will start the tour.
Visitors will cross through the forest canopy passing through three sections of
cables in which they will need to take small walks in between each section.
During one of these walks they will reach our Tarzan Swing where those with an
adventurous spirit will surely get a blast. The Tarzan Swing is a side activity
included in the tour where we give our visitors the option of swinging through
the forest while attached to a high security rope, with which they jump out of a
platform and experience adventure at its best.
After this the tour will continue until our visitors arrive once again to ground
level. The tour consists of 12 and 15 cables, 18 platforms and one Tarzan
Swing. There is a total of 2.0 miles of total cable length. It is suitable for people
of all ages although it's not recommended for certain people with extreme
weight excess. Visitors should wear long pants, hiking boots and depending on
the weather some rain gear. This tour lasts two and a half hours approximately.
