• Arrive at Laguna Verde
• Zipline across 14 cables

The experience

You start with an ATV ride through the forest around Apaneca, riding toward Laguna Verde where the landscape opens up. After that first activity, you move to the Apaneca mountains for the zipline section: 14 cables strung across the terrain, each one a separate run. A bilingual certified guide stays with the small group throughout, and an air-conditioned vehicle handles the transport between sites so you're not exhausted before the ziplining starts.

The zipline cables are the centerpiece: 14 separate runs that take you across the mountainside. The guide handles setup and safety on each one. You operate the equipment and control your descent. After both activities, the day ends at Apaneca Plaza, where you eat local food and sit in the atmosphere of the town. The whole day is about 8.5 hours from start to finish.
