Monteverde Canopy Zip-Line: Rainforest Sky Circuit & Tarzan Swing

Fly between ancient cloudforest giants on Costa Rica's most celebrated canopy zip-line circuit above Monteverde, culminating in a freefall Tarzan swing that delivers a pure adrenaline snapshot of the forest floor far below. The views — and the rush — are utterly unforgettable.

What to expect

Geared up at Extremo's professional launch station, your group of maximum eight ascends to the first platform canopy-level with a panoramic sweep of the Nicoya Gulf in the distance. Thirteen cables of increasing length and speed follow, with guides at every station. The Tarzan swing — a 15-metre freefall before the rope catches you above the forest canopy — is optional but almost everyone takes the leap. The entire circuit takes 2.5 hours.
