Canopy Tour
This
tour is usually done in Iguanna Park 14 Kin from the town of Orotina, which is
on the main road to the beaches of Jaco and Manuel Antonio, about one and a half
hour from San Jose & The Canopy Tour is located in the primary jungle area and
is about a 45 minute hike from the tourist center. The tour consisits of 3 plataforms,
2 traverses and a rappel. The clients start off on a hill and climb a small ladder
to the first plataform located in a Guanacaste tree about 15 meters high. From
there they traverse to the second plataform in a strangler fig 32 meters high. The 3 plataform is 44 meters high in a kapok tree.
Following this they rappel back down to the ground level. The climate at Iguarma
Park is very warm and usually humid. This is a tropical transition forest between
the dry lowland forests of the north and the wet rainforests of the south and
is therefore rich in blodiversity, both plants and animals. We recomend to wear
shorts and a t shirt and to bring a change of clothing, there are shower facilities
at the park. The tour takes around 3 1/2hours. After the adventure of the canopy
there is a delicious "casado" with iguanna meat waiting for you.
