Canopy tour del Pacific. Malpais, Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica

“Canopy Tour del Pacifico is known as the best canopy adventure in the Nicoya Peninsula”

The Canopy tour is based on the quiet village of Malpais, on a farm with more than 200 different tree species, at the entrance of the Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Reserve.

The whole area is covered in rich tropical forest and diverse wildlife: white face capuchin, howler monkey, armadillo, squirrel, white-tailed deer, coati, raccoon, opossum, green and black iguana, tayra, bat, porcupine, paca, margay, peccary, northern tamandua, skunk, coyote, agouti, as well as many birds like woodpecker, white-threaded magpie-jai, bare-throated tiger heron, crested caracara, white fronted parrot, black-headed trogon, turquoise-browed motmot, long tailed manakin and many more may be seen.

Come and journey through the treetops, enjoying the tropical forest while the Pacific Ocean lies below you.

The exiting canopy ride is nearly a kilometer long and has 8 platforms set high in the gigantic trees. Steel cables connect the platforms, which are between 5 and 25 meters in height.

You will not forget the experience of flying along our 300 meters long shot over a canyon between the second and the third platform. You can also enjoy two exciting rappels descending from gigantic trees.

Professional nature guides will accompany you on the unforgettable journey through the biodiversity. They will introduce you to the fascinating secrets of the forest.

Following the strictest safety norms, you will enjoy thrilling views of the Pacific Ocean and of the forest from many different perspectives.

This activity does not damage the environment: to ride through the forest we do not use gasoline or electricity, fostering the true spirit of eco-adventure.
