RAIN
FOREST AERIAL TRAM |
| |
A cascading
40-foot waterfall, giant rainforest trees and panoramic views of the
ocean are all part of the ride at the Pacific Rain Forest Aerial Tram.
Costa Rica's newest adventure tour destination will serve cruise ship
excursions, independent and small group travelers and incentive
groups. Researchers and foreign and Costa Rican students are also
invited to take advantage of the opportunity to observe life in the
forest canopy up close.
Open-air gondolas with canvas awnings seat eight passengers and a
naturalist guide. The rugged topography of our forest means the
modified ski lift skims the forest floor, and then soars to a maximum
height of 130 feet above a rugged valley. |

The ride on
the Pacific Tram takes about an hour to travel a half-mile into the
heart of a transitional rain forest. The 210-acre private reserve is a
transitional area between the drier climate of the northwest and the
more humid climate of the southern coast.
Your visit to the Rain Forest Aerial Tram includes the hour-long tram
ride accompanied by a bilingual naturalist guide (English-Spanish) and
a 45-minute guided nature walk. Other languages can be accommodated
with advance notice. Transportation is available from Jaco, Quepos,
Puntarenas, Marriott Los Sueños and San Jose, and a public bus from
San Jose also serves the area. |
