Monteverde Cloud Forest Aerial Tram & Hanging Bridges

Encounter Costa Rica’s Fascinating Biodiversity and Natural Beauty Explore a biodiverse cloud forest by aerial tram and along suspended walkways amid the leafy canopy. An important wildlife refuge, the Monteverde Cloud Forest is a rare type of forest that occurs within high-altitude tropical or subtropical environments, where the atmospheric conditions allow for consistent cloud cover. It is home to vast numbers of mammal, bird, insect and plant species, including the world’s largest number of orchids. Upon arrival, board the aerial tram, then begin your ascent through the cloud forest, admiring sweeping views of your surroundings. Afterward, follow your knowledgeable guide on a nature walk to the first of four suspended bridges that cover over half a mile of verdant terrain, and rise up to 126 feet above the ground. After your treetop adventure, you will enjoy a delicious Costa Rican-style buffet lunch, before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
