My two girlfriends and I went on Canopy in March 2007 and we LOVED it. We had heard that zipling was the thing to do in San Jose de la Montana and looked into a number of companies but were recommended about Canopy Adventure from friends that used them in the past.

It was more amazing than I ever expected. My friend and I are extremely afraid of heights and after taking the Canopy to the top of the rain forest, we were rather afraid to go down the zipline. I had been on ziplines before in the US, but they were MUCH shorter. These were up to half a mile long and were hundreds of feet about the rain forest. The most exhilarating experience I’ve ever had. I think there were 6-8 ziplines that we went down and the views were beautiful. You could see the valley, the waterfalls, and the rain forest tops.

The guides were very friendly and helpful. I felt completely safe with them - they showed you exactly how to ride the zipline so you wouldn’t get stuck and also had a break system to stop you (from what I heard from other friends, some of the other companies don’t have all the same safety mechanisms).

I highly recommend this trip. There were people there of all ages from teenagers to early 60s! If you don’t have a lot of time in San Jose, this is one thing you should definitely do.
