Glide through the treetops of century-old forests, high above the pristine
rivers and waterfalls that make up the incredible collection of natural
landscapes bordering the National Park La Amistad and the famous Baru
Volcano.
This is a tour
traversing a cloud forest of century-old trees and waterfalls
where at anytime you may encounter fog and the gentle rain we call bajareque. The wildlife within the treetops is immense and
varied making it possible to appreciate our native species of
small animals and birds; with a bit of luck you may even get the
chance to see monkeys and the famed quetzal. In addition, you can
marvel at sight of the great variety of orchids and wildflowers
that you will find throughout the area.
Tarzan, 21st century ! Who would have thought that a technology utilized
hundreds of years ago by our indigenous people and later perfected by
botanists and naturalists to observe and study the behaviors of wild
creatures in their natural habitat, would be transformed into one of the
most revered extreme sports.
A
harness, an ultra-resistant steel cable and gravity are the only elements
necessary to suspend and propel the "fearless rider" in this incredible
"adrenaline rush".
Security
Measures:
The equipment and the steel
cables that you will use, have the capacity to resist many times the weight
of a human, no matter what your size. The harness will support 2,000 pounds
(907 Kg) and the cable will support 10,000 pounds (4536 Kg).
For safety, we
recommend maximun weight of:
250 pounds for gentlemen = 113.4 Kg.
170 pounds for Ladies = 77.2 Kg.
