BEFORE STARTING THE ACTIVITY, A GROUP INSTRUCTION CLASS IS GIVEN WHERE, USING A CABLE INSTALLED 2M ABOVE THE GROUND, A GUIDE SHOWS THE BASIC SLIDING AND SAFETY TECHNIQUES. AFTER RECEIVING THE INTRODUCTORY TALK, THE TOUR BEGINS FROM THE FIRST PLATFORM.
THE CABLES ARE SUPPORTED BY STRONG TREES WITH ALTITUDES RANGING BETWEEN 20 AND 60 METERS ABOVE THE GROUND.
THE CANOPY SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A SERIES OF CABLES ATTACHED FROM ONE TREE TO ANOTHER, ON WHICH WE SLIDE USING A PULLEY AND MOUNTAINEERING EQUIPMENT (HARNESS). THE EQUIPMENT FOR EACH PERSON CAN WITHSTAND UP TO 3000 KILOGRAMS OF WEIGHT, SO YOU CAN ENJOY THE TOUR COMPLETELY SAFELY, HANGING FACE FORWARD AS YOU ROLL ALONG THE CABLE THROUGH THE RAINFOREST, AT OR ABOVE THE CANOPY LEVEL OF MANY TREES (ALTHOUGH WE ALSO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO TRY DIFFERENT POSITIONS TO MAKE THE EXPERIENCE MORE MEMORABLE AND SIMILAR TO WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO FLY OVER AND BETWEEN THE TREES).
THE CANOPY SYSTEM CONSISTS OF 12 CABLES AND 13 PLATFORMS, FOR A TOTAL DISTANCE OF 2.8 KILOMETERS, MAKING IT THE MOST MEMORABLE CANOPY TOUR IN THE AREA. THE CABLE DISTANCES RANGE FROM 50 METERS FOR THE SHORTEST TO 500 METERS FOR THE LONGEST.
SAFETY: HELMET, PROFESSIONAL MOUNTAIN PELVIC HARNESS, CARABINERS, ANCHOR STRAP, SLIDING PULLEY, AND LEATHER GLOVE. INSURANCE IS INCLUDED. THE FOLLOWING PLATFORMS GRADUALLY INCREASE THE HEIGHT AND LENGTH OF THE ROUTES AND OFFER STUNNING PANORAMIC VIEWS. PARTICIPANTS WILL ALWAYS BE ACCOMPANIED BY QUALIFIED INSTRUCTORS ON EACH PLATFORM AND THROUGHOUT THE TOUR.
AT THE END OF THE CANOPY TOUR, YOU CAN ENJOY 5 THERMAL WATER POOLS, 2 REGULAR WATER POOLS, 3 SLIDES (65M / 15M / 10M), A CROCODILE AND CAIMAN FARM, A BUTTERFLY GARDEN, AND A LEAF-CUTTING ANT DISPLAY. THIS IS INCLUDED WITH THE CANOPY TOUR AT NO EXTRA CHARGE.
