The Canopy Monteverde is stunning because it is a tropical cloud forest where there's a unique biodiversity of trees, plants and wildlife. The canopy in Monteverde is part of a distinct floristic and structural form and is well studied by scientists. One of the most unique things to do in Monteverde is to travel through the canopy.

Canopy Monteverde tours by ziplines take visitors above the Monteverde Cloud Forest on steel cables and platforms for an adrenalin rush. Visitors can zip from one platform to the next with a close-up view of one of Costa Rica's finest cloud forests. If you choose to zip through the canopy, you can find an outfitter that provides information on the cloud forest's ecology and botany.

The Original Canopy Tour is a company that has been featured on a number of television programs and publications including National Geographic, USA Today, and MSNBC. Original Canopy Tour will take you on a short guided hike before you fly through the canopy. The tour last about two hours.

Canopy Monteverde tours are offered by many tour operators in Monteverde. Your hotel can organize a tour for you or you can head to Selvatura Adventure Park which considers itself to have one of Monteverde's premier canopy zip line tours.

For the less adventurous visitor, there's another kind of canopy tour — travelers can walk on the hanging bridges which are beneath the top canopy of the cloud forest. Walking on the hanging bridges is also a little lighter on the pocket book.
