| Description:

The first Rain Forest Aerial Tram ever built
takes you over an expansive private nature preserve
on Costa Rica's Atlantic Coast. Located 50 minutes
from San José, our capital city, we are
a sanctuary which shelters an eco-tourism and
research park unlike any in the world... we
are talking about the Rain Forest Aerial Tram
– Atlantic.
The Rain Forest Aerial Tram – Atlantic
is a 475-hectare (1,200-acre) private reserve,
it shares a 10 km border with Braulio Carrillo
National Park and constitutes a buffer zone
between the park and farming lands.

The park´s
multiple gateways take you to each unique rainforest
dimension: flights above the canopy treetop, guided
nature hikes for all levels of physical ability, a snake
exhibit (with more than 10 reptile species), a multi-colored
Frog and Butterfly Garden, bird watching and opportunities
to overnight at the Rain Forest Lodge whose walls all
but blend right into the forest.
It takes an hour
and 20 minutes, during which you’ll glide pleasantly
through the treetops.
• This is an extraordinary opportunity to see
a primary forest and its natural splendor at first hand.
The open-air gondolas with canvas awnings seat 6 passengers
and a naturalist guide.
• We show
our guests all the different layers of the rainforest,
from the floor to the treetops.
The canopy is
home to an enormous amount of flora and fauna.
Eager to find
light and space, many plants have colonized the treetops,
turning them into small, independently functioning ecosystems.
Colorful tropical flowers, fascinating plants and trees
are quite common, and you will learn how they work together
to form a complete ecosystem.
The Aerial Tram tour covers a distance of 2.6 kilometers
through primary rainforest. The ride lasts about an
hour and twenty minutes and travels at the leisurely
pace of two kilometers per hour, allowing you the chance
to fully explore this exciting part of the forest.
