/tags/zip-line-costa-rica.rss en-us As I stood on a tiny wooden platform, staring down into the impossible depths of the lush Costa Rican Rainforest, I began to reconsider my decision to try zip lining for the first time. After the first leap into the forest-abyss, overwhelmed and exhilarated from my jungle flight, I was hooked on Costa Rica zip lining. The small town of Montezuma, located on the southern tip of Costa Rica’s beautiful Nicoya Peninsula, is famous for it scenic waterfalls and coastline. A canopy tour in Montezuma is an unrivaled means of exploration, simply put, it is Costa Rica zip lining at its best. The Canopy Tour takes visitors across 9 cables and 11 platforms situated 1200 meters above the forest at different points along the Montezuma River and Waterfalls. Gliding alongside the Montezuma River visitors are able to enjoy not only the views but also the local conveniences. If a swift breeze from soaring along the cables isn't enough to cool you down, you can stop and take a plunge into one of the waterfalls along the way. Partway through the circuit, stop at the fantastic Montezuma Waterfalls for a dip to cool off in natural stone pools, and enjoy the scenery from a different vantage point before attempting two final breathtaking zip lines which are the longest and highest on the tour Experienced English-speaking guides instruct you on all aspects of zip lining and safety measures before the tour so that everything runs smoothly. They equip you with a harness, helmet and gloves for braking, and continue to monitor and coach you throughout each step of the excursion so that all you need to do is relax and enjoy the ride. This Costa Rica zip lining experience is a swift way to immerse yourself into the beautiful rainforest and get up close and personal with howler monkeys, parrots and white face capuchin.
