DESCRIPTION:

Canopy Safari is the pioneering canopy tour operator in the Southern area of Costa Rica.  The company built its first canopy course in 1997 with the help of a team of experts who build high ropes courses in the United States and in Europe.

Our tour begins with an amazing drive through the rainforest out to our canopy site.  During the ride there are many stops for everyone to learn about the flora and fauna of the area. Our local bilingual guides have a vast knowledge of the area and love to share the many secrets that the rainforest holds with our clients.

The canopy site is located approximately forty-five minutes from Manuel Antonio, in an area called Paso Real.  Here we have a brand new ranch house with full facilities, located next to a pristine river, this is where we serve a full breakfast or lunch (depending on tour time). A spectacular river is the backdrop for these platforms carefully built in the canopy of the rainforest.

Clients are able to traverse from tree to tree and platform to platform using pulleys on horizontal traverse cables, as they sail through the treetops of the tropical rainforest canopy, and over the trails far below.

Our canopy course consists of:

• 18 platforms
• 10 “zip lines”
• 2 rappel lines
• 1 suspension bridge
• 1 " Tarzan wing"
• A butterfly farm
• A serpentarium

New feautures: butterfly farm and serpentarium!

When the clients finish the exciting canopy course they enter our butterfly garden where we also have a snake exhibit.  Canopy Safari is one of the most diverse and exciting tours around.  We are a very environmentally conscious company.  All of our construction uses minimal impact on the rainforest.

We are the only canopy tour in Costa Rica with a Tarzan swing, which adds much more excitement for the clients.  Our expert guides assist the clients in this exciting journey through the different layers of virgin and secondary rainforest.  They point out and explain the many different types of flora and fauna; from poison dart frogs, to the “walking palm tree”.  As a result; at the end of the tour our clients are able to walk away with a newfound knowledge of Costa Rican wildlife.
