The Cable Car of the Caribbean Rainforest is a Private Reserve of 475 hectares, located just 50 minutes from San José and 5 kilometers after the Rio Sucio bridge, on the Braulio Carrillo highway to the province of Limón.

Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by the staff, who will invite them to board the exclusive transportation from the reception to the video room in the visitors area. Before, there will be a short stop halfway to enjoy the panoramic views on the suspension bridge and the brook tree viewpoint. After the presentation of a short introductory video of the park, visitors are guided to the Cableway boarding area where the main idea is to show visitors
the different levels of the forest, including the canopy of the trees or canopy, the hardest level to reach and until now, the part of the forest less known in the scientific field.
On the trails you can see the heart of the rainforest; where there is a great diversity of plant and animal species. That is why the walk along the trails and the ride on the Cable Car are an excellent combination to know and appreciate the rain forest from the ground to the treetops

You may be familiar with Costa Rica’s zip lines and suspension bridges, but did you know that they serve a greater purpose than an exhilarating source of entertainment? They give you access to a level of planet Earth that you might not otherwise get to experience. Some 90% of all cloud forest organisms are found within the upper level of the forest canopy. The sunlight is more powerful and direct at the top of trees, and as such, fuels a greater number of species than the shadowy reaches below. Plants cling to other plants, and animals climb to soaring elevations to hunt for fruits and nuts.
This being the case, suspension bridge tours are a fabulous way to see what these cloud forests are made of. Bridges range both in length and height — some being as long as 500 ft and as tall as 200 ft — and allow visitors to not only peer into the tops of the forests, but also into the thickly vegetated canyons below. Tours can be conducted either with or without a guide and can be enjoyed by people of all ages and all physical abilities.
If you wish to be immersed in the forest but seek a more thrilling experience, then you would be wise to choose a zip line tour. Monteverde has the longest, safest and most professional lines in the country. Sturdy steel cables stretch from one platform to the next, sometimes in and sometimes above the forest itself. Guides equip and instruct all participants before the tour begins, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and capable. From there on out, all that is required of participants is to be focused and remain calm — gravity will do the rest. Stretching a few miles in length, these cables will have tour takers flying across canyons and above canopies, looking down and out at the priceless views ahead.
