Canopy tours are the signature tour of Costa Rica. They are a fantastic way to see the rain forest up close and at the same time have one of the most thrilling rides of your life. A canopy tour consists of platforms attached to trees <big trees> with a cable running from one platform to another. Each individual wears a harness similar to rock climbers, which is then attached to the pulley on the cable. Now it is just a matter of stepping off one platform and arriving rapidly at the next. Wow! In the Quepos, Manuel Antonio areas there are four different canopy tours. Each tour differs in the scenery and terrain into which they are built and also in the length and number of cables.
