Skytrek Zip Line Canopy Tour Monteverde

Together, the ziplines and the Skytram (now called TreeTram) complete distance stretches of almost 3kms and the tour takes approximately 2.5 hours (plus transport time).

Before leaving the main building to start your tour, you will be fitted with all of the necessary safety equipment (harness, helmet, gloves); which the guides will take care to properly adjust. Afterward, the guides will deliver a safety speech with special attention to the braking system.

Due to the extreme length of some of the ziplines and the prevailing wind speed, the guides may have you ride tandem. This style utilizes the added weight of a second person to ensure that you reach the next platform.

In the event of lightning or winds exceeding 120 km/h (75mph), Sky Trek will cancel its tours for safety reasons; with lesser wind or rain only serving to add to the excitement, and speed, of the zipline tour.

Sky Walk (Hanging Bridges/Suspended Bridges)

The Sky Walk is a wonderful chance to take a relaxed hike high in the forest. For wildlife viewing the Sky Walk offers the best opportunities, as often the zip lines are too fast and intense for relaxed wildlife viewing. You can do the Skywalk without the Treetram or zip lines, or as a combo with other tours. Self-guided tours take about 1.5 hours but it depends on how often you stop to enjoy the scenery or take photos! 6 hanging bridges cover about 1.5 miles (2.5km).

You can also book the Sky Walk with a nature guide. The guided tour is about 2 hours.

NEW! The Glass Bridge — the country’s first suspended glass bridge.

Stretching 42 metres through the cloud forest and rising up to 20 metres above the forest floor, The Glass Bridge offers a thrilling new way to experience the spectacular scenery around you. Look through the glass beneath your feet and enjoy a unique perspective of the forest and mountains as you make your way across.

The Glass Bridge is included in the Sky Walk experience at no extra cost, giving every Sky Walk visitor the opportunity to experience this exciting new attraction as part of their adventure.

Your safety is our priority.

The specially designed climbing handholds are securely attached to the trees without causing damage to them. Once you reach the top, the automatic belay system gently lowers you safely back to the ground — so you can concentrate on the adventure and enjoy the climb!
