San Juan Ziplining Tour: Hacienda Campo Rico Forest & Mojito Bar

Summary

Zipline over forest bridges near San Juan then toast with a mojito

You’ll hike through lush forest near San Juan with local guides before flying over five ziplines—including one epic 1,000-foot stretch—and crossing hanging canopy bridges high above the trees. The adventure wraps up at a hilltop Mojito Bar where everyone unwinds together. Expect laughter, shaky knees, and views that stick with you long after.

What’s the experience like?

“If you scream, the birds will answer back,” our guide Luis grinned as he tightened my harness. I thought he was joking, but after the first zipline—wind in my ears and palms sweaty on the cable—I swear I heard something chirping back at me. The whole thing starts so close to San Juan that you barely finish your coffee before you’re standing in the middle of Hacienda Campo Rico’s green sprawl, helmet already messing up your hair.

The hike in is short but kind of magical—mud sticking to my shoes, sunlight flickering through leaves, and someone’s cologne mixing with damp earth. Luis pointed out some wild plantains and told us how his grandma used to fry them for breakfast (I’m still thinking about that). Then came the first zipline: 1,000 feet long and high enough that I could see flashes of blue ocean between the trees. My heart was thumping so loud I almost missed his instructions about keeping my knees up for landing. Honestly, I didn’t expect to laugh so much—everyone in our group did some awkward mid-air dance or another.

The canopy bridges were wobbly and a little nerve-wracking if you looked down—thirty feet above the ground with nothing but netting and your own balance. At one point, a kid behind me started singing reggaeton under his breath, which somehow made it less scary (or maybe more?). The guides kept us moving but never rushed anyone; they checked every harness twice and made sure even the nervous folks felt safe enough to try each line. By the last zipline, I’d stopped thinking about how high up we were and just let go.

You end right at this hilltop Mojito Bar—no kidding, you land practically at the door—and even though drinks aren’t included, it feels like a reward. The mojito was cold and minty (maybe too much ice), and we all sat around comparing who screamed loudest. If you’re looking for a quick day trip from San Juan that doesn’t feel too staged or touristy, this ziplining tour is honestly worth it—even if your hair never recovers from the helmet.
