Ficus Adventure
Complement any of our forest immersions with a SAVIA-style adventure activity that will challenge your perspectives about the Monteverde Cloud Forest.
Scientists created ziplining as an investigation method for exploring the forest canopy. This experience honors exploration, with environmental consciousness.
Climb inside a 30-meter ficus tree to reach a rope zipline. Using ropes instead of cables reduces sound and minimizes impact on the forest and wildlife. Continue climbing to the top of the ficus tree, and take in views from a hammock. Rappel back to the forest floor, and play like the animals of the forest. Hang upside down like a bat, and walk a slackline balancing like a monkey. Finally, enjoy a gourmet snack in the forest.
