High-Speed Ziplines Across the Rainforest

Your adventure begins on a 25-meter (80 ft.) platform, the perfect launch point to start gliding through the treetops. The circuit includes 8 zipline cables stretching more than 2 km (1.2 miles) over pristine rainforest terrain. As you move through the course, you’ll explore 13 platforms, including 4 built into living trees using a system designed to protect and respect natural growth.

Each cable reveals a different view of the landscape. Heights vary from 20 meters (65 ft.) to an exhilarating 90 meters (300 ft.), while the longest cable spans 600 meters (1,970 ft.). These impressive dimensions allow you to reach speeds of up to 56 kph (35 mph) as you soar above canyons, farmlands, and lush jungle scenery.

By the sixth cable, most guests feel fully at ease. Many even choose to let the guides handle braking to enjoy the ride hands-free. Shortly after, the energy rises again with the iconic Tarzan Swing, followed by a surprise challenge that pushes the adventure one step further.

One manages the group and secures your harness, while the other controls braking and ensures safe landings.
