Congo Trail Canop

When someone finds out that you are planning a trip to Costa Rica, one of the first questions they ask is “Do you think you’ll see any monkeys?” Well, of course you will, if you book a trip to the Congo Trail Canopy with Costariabesttrips.com.
One of the oldest canopy tours in Costa Rica, the Congo Trail Canopy will not disappoint. Located in the Guancaste Region, the Congo Trail is close to many beaches and resorts. If you are staying in Flamingo, Coco, Ocotal, Hermosa, Panama as well as the Gulf of Papagayo, this tour is perfect because it is within approximately 45 minutes from each. The canopy boasts 11 zip lines and is ideal for those of any age. Families, especially, as even the kids can enjoy the experience. As you fly across the suspended cables, you will feel exhilarated watching the scenery below. Our competent tour guides will give you full instructions and you will also be given the safety gear needed to enjoy what may just turn out to be the time of your life. You will also experience a hanging bridge along the way as you walk between platforms. If you haven’t seen the infamous howler monkeys while zipping along, don’t worry, there is a refuge on site where you can view the monkeys that are being rehabilitated.
The Congo Trail Canopy Tour includes round trip transportation, provided by Costaricabesttrips.com, as well as a knowledgeable bilingual tour guide that will be happy to point out all those points of interest along the way. Be sure to wear comfortable clothing and closed toed shoes. Insect repellant is recommended as you will be in the jungle. Oh, and don’t forget the camera. You will want to make sure you document this once in a life time trip.

Posted on by

If you are looking for adventure with a bit of nature and the excitement of a volcano, look no further than the Miravalles Volcano Crater Tour that we offer at Costaricabesttrips.com. With this tour, we will combine all this and more into a fun filled and memorable day. You will enjoy the luxury of private transportation, bilingual tour guide, lunch and drinks as well as the convenience of being picked up at the door of either your resort or vacation rental.
We start the day exploring the Llanos del Cortes waterfalls. Considered one of the most beautiful in the Guanacaste Region, the waterfalls also play host to spectacular views and glimpses of wildlife along the hike to the top. Once there, experience the beauty and power of the water as it plunges over the rocks into the pool below. Adventure is up next. Our second stop of the day takes you to the rainforest where you will zip along the tree tops on ten different cables. Watch out for the monkeys, as they just may be in the trees with you. Once you have found your way down from the canopy, we will escort you on approximately a one hour hike combined with either horseback riding or a tractor ride. As we make our way through the rainforest, you will visit two different waterfalls, one, which is visible from the hanging bridges, and the other, where you will be given the opportunity to swim. By this time, we are pretty sure you will be hungry, so we have arranged for you to enjoy a typical Costa Rican lunch.
As promised, we have the excitement of the Miravalles Volcano Crater. This is where you will have an experience you will not soon forget. Experience the natural steam sauna, exfoliate your skin with the mud from the volcano, as you sit in the actual crater, and wash away the mud with a trip to the hot springs. The steam in the sauna as well as the water in the hot springs, all heated from the volcano’s core. What better way to end this fantastic day than with a few trips down a water slide.
We are confident that once this day trip to Miravalles Volcano Crater is complete, you will not only have a day to remember, but you will also sleep very well that night.
