Sky Tram & Trek

Move through the rainforest by aerial tram, canopy zipline, and a walk among hanging bridges near Arenal.

About this experience

Sky Tram & Trek offers a different way to move through the rainforest, shifting between height, motion, and a closer connection to the landscape. Throughout the experience, the surroundings unfold from several perspectives: first through the calm of the ascent, then from the openness of the canopy, and finally through the slower rhythm of the trail.

Before the experience begins, the team shares the guidance needed so that each section can be enjoyed with confidence. The outing combines the aerial tram, canopy zipline course, and a walk among hanging bridges, within an experience that Chachagua Rainforest Hotel’s concierge team can naturally incorporate into a broader itinerary.
