At only 45 minutes from the Pier, Villa Lapas is a beautiful tourism complex where you will experience a real adventure into the rain forest.
The adventure of the "Villa Lapas Canopy Tour" starts at the front desk of the hotel where you will meet your guides, who will take you to the conference room of the hotel to get you geared up. Each person that goes on the tour will be carrying a harness, two Carabineers, a pair of welding gloves, a pulley and two strings (one for the pulley and the other one for safety on the cables and platforms). Once you are ready to go we will hike for approximately 15 minutes going across de "Tarcolitos River" twice using two small suspension bridges and then trough the forest on the traditional way, by foot.
The forest where the "Villa Lapas Canopy Tour" was built is a transitional forest in between the dry and rain forest and it is of secondary growth, that makes it a very biodiverse area because you have a combination of species that inhabit the north (dry region) and the south (humid region) all together in the central pacific area of Costa Rica.
Villa Lapas Canopy Tour has six cables that go from 180 to 900 feet in length, four single platforms and three double platforms located at a maximum height of 60 feet above the ground. This combination of nature and adrenaline will make this experience an unforgettable memory of your trip to Costa Rica.
We'll be back to the pier by 2:00 PM
Note: This trip does not includes lunch, but in case you prefer to have lunch in the area, we can make some recommendations. |
