Experience the Best Canopy Tour in Monteverde

History of the first canopy tour in Costa Rica

The Original Canopy Tour's origins trace to Monteverde's early 1990s, when a group of adventurous biologists and conservationists conceived the idea of exploring the forest canopy from above. They developed the first zipline system for canopy traversal, establishing what became a globally influential adventure tourism model.
