Canopy Tours

Tags zip lining, canopy tours

A canopy tour is a must on any nature lover’s “to do” list since so much of Costa Rica’s biodiversity exists in the canopy layer. These tours are one of the most popular tourism activities in Costa Rica. Most are zip-line style tours, but some include aerial trams, suspension bridges and lookout towers.
