The COVID-19 pandemic has affected Costa Rica, but we have an advanced and modern health care system and universal health care for our citizens with a well-organized and centralized government, so as a country, we have been taking considerable precautions for travelers and citizens.

Sky Trek in Monteverde is a fun zipline canopy tour! Ride through the air on a system of zipline cables in the cloud forest. There are 9 cables with lengths between 1200 feet and 2310 feet and heights of 60ft to 480ft. The Skytram and Skytrek have to be done as a combined tour (you cannot do just the ziplines, as the tram takes you up and the ziplines down!). Although you can do the tram on its own. Or combine it with a guided hike on the Skywalk bridges. The tour is suitable for anyone over 8 years old with a sense of adventure. No experience is needed.
The Sky Tram is a 10 minute cable car ride which not only offers beautiful views and photo opportunities of the cloud forest, but on clear days you can see Arenal Volcano. The Skytram will take you up the mountain to the base of a tower that marks the first zipline run.
The first four ziplines begin at the top of the mountain, above the tree line. With the construction of the cable car system, the need to walk between zipline platforms has been practically cut out. Currently, most ziplines run from platform to platform and a few ziplines will deposit you at the base of a tower, leading to a very short climb to the next platform. Once at the top, the exhilarating adventure of ziplining down the mountainside begins, ultimately returning you to the starting point at the main building.
New Vertigo Drop! Drop down from a platform like Tarzan!

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. Afterwards the guides will deliver a safety speech detailing proper form and the braking system.
There are two observation towers above the treetops from which you can enjoy a panoramic view of the San Carlos, Puntarenas, Guanacaste areas and the golf of Nicoya.

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 lightening 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 Trek also provides complimentary lockers to store your backpacks while taking part in the canopy tour.
