Our sister site, Pura Vida! eh? Inc., has Treetopia Park tour discounts. Con mucho gusto (you’re welcome) and pura vida!

We know the Treetopia Park well; we’ve done the Tree Tram, Sky Trek, and Sky Walk tours several times.

Everywhere we turn nowadays, it seems someone new is claiming to be a Costa Rica expert. Inside offices, travel agents and advisors “sell” the country without ever having stepped on Costa Rican soil. Outside, countless social media “influencers” fly in, make snap judgments, fly out, and taut their one-off experiences as the best. No wonder it’s so difficult for potential Costa Rica travelers like yourself to find trustworthy information and time-honored Costa Rica trip-planning advice! Thank goodness you found your way here. We’ve got what you need and deserve: help that’s based on firsthand knowledge, has been collected across a variety of experiences, and has been summarized as part of comparative analyses.

With respect to the Treetopia Park (formerly known as Sky Adventures Monteverde), we’ve visited this park more times than we can remember. Monteverde is Ricky’s favorite destination in his homeland of Costa Rica, so we’ve found ourselves in the park on many personal vacations. We’ve also found our way to the park on business trips to perform site inspections as part of our corporate operations via our business, Pura Vida! eh? Inc., and, because we’ve always enjoyed our time at the park, on three separate occasions it hosted our family reunions. Simply put, the park is a place we adore and never tire of visiting. Below are a few photos of our visits to the Treetopia Park over the years.

Big Changes: The Transition From Sky Adventures To The Treetopia Park

If you keep coming across information about Sky Adventures online whenever you search for the Treetopia Park, or if you want to visit Sky Adventures Monteverde but keep getting forwarded to the Treetopia Park instead, rest assured, in either case, you’re where you’re supposed to be. Treetopia Park is the new name of the Sky Adventures Monteverde Park. Below is a brief summary of important park-related changes that have come into effect in recent years.

Until the end of 2022, Sky Adventures operated an adventure park in the La Fortuna region of Costa Rica, which was known as Sky Adventures Arenal, and an adventure park in the Monteverde region of Costa Rica, which was known as Sky Adventures Monteverde. Reservations for both parks were processed by the same team and the two parks shared a website. (The parks were governed by three siblings of the same Costa Rican family.) At the start of 2023, however, the two parks officially separated, and tour operations, including reservations and website management, were handled separately by each park. (A brother-and-sister team stayed with the park in Arenal while another brother took charge of the park in Monteverde.) Later in 2023, Sky Adventures Monteverde announced that their park, which had been managed by a group known as Grupo 415 since the split at the start of the year, would adopt a new name: the Treetopia Park. (Grupo 415 is comprised of the kin of the brother who took charge of the park in Monteverde). Despite all of the changes, the majority of the Treetopia Park’s tour offerings would remain the same, except that the “Sky Tram” aerial tram would be renamed the “Tree Tram” aerial tram. (Note that at the La Fortuna site, the aerial tram continues to use the term “Sky Tram.”). It would take approximately six months for all of the Monteverde adventure park’s new Treetopia Park signage to replace the old Sky Adventures signage.

To date, the adventure park in Monteverde is known publicly as the Treetopia Park and it’s managed by Grupo 415. In the La Fortuna region of Costa Rica, the brother-and-sister team manage the adventure park privately under the name Grupo Valverde but run it publicly under the name Sky Adventures. The park continues to operate under the name Sky Adventures Arenal. Both parks remain in the hands of members of the same Costa Rican family, but for legal and operational purposes, the parks are now unique corporate entities.

Treetopia Park tours and activities

The Treetopia Park is best known for its original three tours and activities, which are often referred to as the classics:

• The Tree Tram Aerial Tram, which is a slow-moving, gondola-resembling, cableway ride. A tour guide is required, and automatically provided, by the Treetopia Park with a reservation for this activity. A reservation is required to ride the tram.
• The Sky Trek Canopy Zip-lining Tour, which entails gliding across multiple zipline cables situated above the cloud forest treetops. A tour guide is required, and is automatically provided, by the Treetopia Park with a reservation for this activity. A reservation is required to participate in the canopy tour.
• The Sky Walk Hanging Bridges, which are a combination of hanging bridges (suspended high above the forest floor) and nature trails (along on the forest floor) that explore Monteverde’s cloud forest ecosystem. A tour guide is not required to explore the Sky Walk Hanging Bridges on your own. However, a tour guide can be provided by the Treetopia Park if you’d like to have one. A reservation is required to explore the Sky Walk Hanging Bridges, regardless of whether you want to explore the bridges with or without a tour guide.

Please see the Tree Tram Aerial Tram, Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour, and Sky Walk Hanging Bridges sections below for more information about each experience.

In addition to the classics, the Treetopia Park is currently putting the finishing touches on an all-new tree-climbing experience (known as the Arboreal Tour) that has obstacle course components and a zipline cable that you ride on a bike.

The Treetopia Park‘s Tree Tram Aerial Tram

Tree Tram experience

Unlike the scenery you’ll see at Sky Adventures Arenal, which includes views of the Arenal Volcano and Lake Arenal, the view you’ll get while riding the Tree Tram at the Treetopia Park in Monteverde is one of endless cloud forest canopy. Tree Tram rides are a great way to view Costa Rica’s lush landscape from above, and Monteverde promises beautiful scenes that are bursting with vibrant, varied shades of green.

At the Treetopia Park, you can ride the Tree Tram on its own or in combination with the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour. On its own, you’ll ride the tram up to the top of the cloud forest and down again, ending where you departed at the Treetopia Park‘s operations center. As part of the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour, after riding the tram up to the top of the cloud forest, you’ll zipline down a series of cables on your return to the Treetopia Park‘s operations center.

Tree Tram logistics

A one-way Tree Tram ride at the Treetopia Park lasts approximately 10 minutes, when counting from the moment the tram departs from the Treetopia Park‘s operations center until it arrives at a platform at the top of the cloud forest.

If you reserve the Tree Tram ride only (i.e., if you do not plan to participate in the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour), you’ll ride the tram both ways (to the top of the cloud forest and back down again). Once you reach the top of the cloud forest, you’ll be given roughly 30 minutes to explore the platform and short nature trail there. During that time, you can take in beautiful views of the cloud forest, snap photos, scan the forest canopy for birds and wildlife, and/or enjoy a treat or refreshment at the on-site cafe. If you choose to explore the trail, it will introduce you to flora and fauna native to the area, including a variety of plants, flowers, insects, amphibians, and reptiles, most notably ferns, orchids, torch flowers, spiders, and lizards. You may also hear the bellowing cries of territorial howler monkeys that reside around Monteverde. Once you return to the Tree Tram, you’ll spend approximately 10 minutes riding it back to the operations center. This second ride completes the approximate one-hour Tree Tram Aerial Tram experience.

If you experience the Tree Tram as part of the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour, note that you’ll only ride the tram once (to the top of the cloud forest), not back down again. Once you disembark at the platform at the top of the cloud forest, you’ll immediately begin the ziplining portion of the tour (you won’t hike the nature trail and/or visit the cafe), and you won’t return to (or ride) the tram again.

Age requirements and weight limits for the Tree Tram

There is currently no minimum age limit or maximum weight limit imposed on individuals who are interested in riding the Tree Tram.

Young travelers and travelers with disabilities

Tree Tram rides are family-friendly. What’s more, children (ages 0-5 years) are welcome to ride the Tree Tram in Monteverde for free with a paying adult.

The Tree Tram Aerial Tram compartments at the Treetopia Park are spacious and accessible to people with a variety of disabilities, including individuals who use walkers and/or wheelchairs. The platform at the top of the cloud forest, which boasts an incredible view of the cloud forest, is also wheelchair-accessible.

The Treetopia Park‘s Sky Trek Canopy Zip-lining Tour

Sky Trek Canopy Zip-lining Tour experience

Unlike some canopy ziplining tours in Costa Rica, which cut through forest, the Treetopia Park‘s Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour takes place above the forest canopy (i.e., above the treetops). More specifically, the tour zigzags over the top of the forest and provides a bird’s eye view of the treetops, clouds, and an endless sky.

Several canopy ziplining tours are offered in the Monteverde region, but the Treetopia Park’s Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour is the only one that utilizes a handlebar braking system. (Most other canopy tour operators use the traditional hand-braking system.) Although both braking methods are regarded as safe, the handlebar braking system requires you to jostle a set of metal handlebars back and forth to slow your speed. In contrast, the hand-braking system requires you to place gentle pressure on the zipline using a thick leather glove to slow your speed, a process that some travelers find daunting. A demonstration of how to use the handlebar braking system is provided at the start of the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour. The tour begins with one low-to-the-ground practice cable, so you can test your ziplining technique before embarking on the full tour. If, after experiencing the practice zipline cable, you don’t like the activity, opt out of experiencing the ziplining tour at that time. (Note that you may not be entitled to a tour refund given the last-minute change.) There’s no turning back once you proceed beyond the practice cable.

The Treetopia Park‘s Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour is also the only canopy ziplining tour in the Monteverde area that automatically includes a complimentary aerial tram ride. (See above for more information about the tram experience.)

Lastly, only at the Treetopia Park will you find the Vertigo Drop, a thrilling free fall that’s an included—but entirely optional—component of the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour. (Note that the Vertigo Drop is not an included component of the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour run at the Sky Adventures Arenal Park; if you want to experience it, you must reserve the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour at the Treetopia Park in Monteverde.) Participation in the Vertigo Drop requires you to jump off a tall metal structure while the tour guide slows your free fall until you gently reach a crash pad on the forest floor. The Vertigo Drop is a rush, but if you’d rather not feel it, you can reach the forest floor by descending the staircase to the side of the metal structure.

Sky Trek Canopy Zip-lining Tour logistics

After giving ziplining a go on the practice cable (see above for more information about that), the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour officially begins with a 10-minute Tree Tram Aerial Tram ride that will deliver you to a platform at the top of the cloud forest. From there, you’ll soar across nine additional zipline cables. (The Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour at the Treetopia Park has seven cables in total, if you count the practice cable). Here’s how the various cables compare with one another according to their length, height, the average speed at which you’ll cross the cable, and the average amount of time that it takes to cross the cable:

Sky Trek Canopy Zip-lining Tour cable details for the Treetopia Park:

Cable #1 (practice cable): 40 meters long / 15 meters high / 15 seconds
Cable #2: 420 meters long / 50 meters high / 35 kms per hour / 33 seconds
Cable #3: 560 meters long / 38 meters high / 52 kms per hour / 38 seconds
Cable #4: 320 meters long / 100 meters high / 54 kms per hour / 32 seconds
Cable #5: 380 meters long / 70 meters high / 53 kms per hour / 32 seconds
Cable #6: 420 meters long / 65 meters high / 64 kms per hour / 34 seconds
Cable #7: 750 meters long / 60 meters high / 75 kms per hour / 41 seconds
Total zip-lining distance: 2,890 meters

It’s important to note that it isn’t possible to participate in the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour without experiencing the Tree Tram Aerial Tram. The Tree Tram ride is a required component of the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour because the tram delivers you to the ziplining tour’s second cable. If you do not want to ride the tram, you should not reserve the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour.

The duration of the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour varies from day to day due to group size, weather conditions, and other factors, but on average, the actual ziplining portion of the tour takes roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete. The entire tour experience, including the collection of ziplining equipment, the instructional briefing, the one-way Tree Tram ride, and the ziplining portion of the tour takes roughly 2-2.5 hours to complete. This estimate excludes any extra time required to travel between the Treetopia Park and downtown Santa Elena (an approximate 10-minute drive from the Treetopia Park) and/or area hotels before the tour begins and after the tour wraps up. It also excludes the buffer time of 15 minutes that you’re expected to arrive at the Treetopia Park prior to participating in any one of their tours.

Age requirements and weight limits for the Sky Trek Canopy Zip-lining Tour

Years ago, Sky Adventures (the operation that previously oversaw the park that’s now known as the Treetopia Park) maintained that their minimum age limit for participation in the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour was 12 years old. Then, they swapped their minimum age limit to a minimum height limit (1.2 meters tall). In 2017, Sky Adventures announced that children as young as 5 years old would be allowed to participate because they obtained equipment that was suitable for children weighing 10-40 kilograms. Despite the park changing names, 5 years old remains the current minimum age limit for Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour participants.

The current maximum weight limit for participation in the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour is 300 lbs. Individuals who exceed the maximum weight limit will be evaluated by the Treetopia Park‘s technical staff according to their height and physical condition to determine eligibility for tour participation.

The Treetopia Park‘s Sky Walk Hanging Bridges

Sky Walk Hanging Bridges experience

In stark contrast to the Treetopia Park‘s Tree Tram Aerial Tram and Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour, both of which invite participants to spy on the cloud forest from above, the park’s Sky Walk Hanging Bridges provide a unique opportunity to explore Costa Rica’s cloud forest from within.

More specifically, if you visit the Sky Walk Hanging Bridges, you’ll stroll through roughly 2.5-kilometers of dense, secondary forest amid much of the biodiversity that Costa Rica (and the Monteverde region in particular) is known for. Spotting and/or hearing fauna along the walk is common; during our visits, we regularly see monkeys playing in the trees and climbing on the cables that support the bridges. Although you’ll cover plenty of solid ground as you traverse the park’s nature trails, most impressive are the long, metal hanging bridges that are suspended high above the forest floor. You’ll be amazed by the majestic beauty of Monteverde’s deep and verdant cloud forest as you make your way across each bridge, completely immersing yourself in nature.

At the Treetopia Park, you can explore the Sky Walk Hanging Bridges on your own (i.e., without a tour guide), as a standalone guided tour (i.e., with a tour guide), or as part of a combo tour (i.e., with or without a tour guide, and in combination with one or more of the Treetopia Park‘s other on-site activities). Combo tour options include coupling the hanging bridges experience with either the Tree Tram Aerial Tram or the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour. Note that because the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour automatically includes a one-way tram ride (see above for details), if you reserve a combo tour that joins the Sky Walk Hanging Bridges with the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour, you’ll get the Tree Tram ride too.

Sky Walk Hanging Bridges trails

The start of the Sky Walk Hanging Bridges experience requires hikers to decide between the “Long Walk” or the “Short Walk.” Here’s what you should know about both routes before choosing either one.

The Long Walk vs. the Short Walk

The 2.5-kilometer long walk is the Treetopia Park‘s complete hanging bridges circuit. It’s a circular trail that departs from the Treetopia Park‘s operations center and loops around the back of the park before returning to the trailhead. In contrast, the short walk is only a portion (roughly half) of the long walk. It, too, is a circular trail that departs from the operations center. It forms a smaller loop within the larger loop that forms the long walk. The two trails (i.e., the long walk and the short walk) overlap in places. If you complete the long walk’s full course, you’ll complete the short walk as part of the journey.

The long walk covers the entirety of the park. It not only provides a longer walk, it also provides access to a part of the park that’s the least visited and is the most likely to provide wildlife-spotting opportunities. The long walk also provides a more difficult hike, not only because you’ll cover a greater distance than the distance traveled during the short walk, but because the long walk has more inclines and declines. In contrast, the short walk minimizes hike duration and difficulty. The short walk is your best option if your time is limited and/or you’d prefer to explore the park’s easiest course.

If you take the long walk, you’ll find that the Sky Walk Hanging Bridges at the Treetopia Park in Monteverde are comprised of six hanging bridges in total. Here’s how the various hanging bridges compare with one another according to bridge length and height:

Sky Walk Hanging Bridge details for the Treetopia Park

Bridge #1: 66 meters long / 15 meters high
Bridge #2: 122 meters long / 49 meters high
Bridge #3: 114 meters long / 17 meters high
Bridge #4: 125 meters long / 36 meters high
Bridge #5: 236 meters long / 50 meters high
Bridge #6: 48 meters long / 15 meters high
Total hanging bridges distance: 711 meters

If you take the short walk, you’ll encounter 4 hanging bridges in total. Specifically, you’ll cross Bridge #3, Bridge #4, Bridge #5, and Bridge #6 detailed above.

It’s easy to miss the long walk’s 6th bridge. Here’s why and how you can avoid doing so.

Though the trail that’s trekked during the long walk forms a loop, a section of the trail splits into two paths at one point, leading hikers in different, albeit parallel, directions for several meters. Further up the trail, the two split paths reconnect, so regardless of which path you choose to follow, it will return you to the long walk’s loop. It’s important to know that each of the two paths have a hanging bridge of their own, which represent two of the Treetopia Park‘s six hanging bridges (Bridge #5 and Bridge #6). Many travelers who complete the long walk’s full loop cross only five hanging bridges in total because they explore only one of the two paths encountered when the trail splits (i.e., they cross either Bridge #5 or Bridge #6, not both).

In order to cross all six hanging bridges in the park, first you’ll need to choose the long walk, not the short walk. When you encounter the fork in the trail after you cross Bridge #4, choose one of the two paths that you’re presented with and proceed to cross that path’s hanging bridge (the path to the left leads to Bridge #5 and the path to the right leads to Bridge #6; both paths eventually lead back to the trailhead). Then, backtrack along the same path, retracing your steps over the hanging bridge you crossed moments before, and return to the fork in the road. From there, take the other path, cross over its hanging bridge, and continue on your way.

Hanging bridge sway and how to minimize bridge movement

A common question we receive about the Sky Walk Hanging Bridges (and hanging bridges is general, regardless of where they’re located in Costa Rica) is whether the bridges move and/or sway when people cross them. The quick answer to this questions is: “Yes, the Sky Walk Hanging Bridges move when you walk across them.” The more elaborate answer to the question is: “Yes, the Sky Walk Hanging Bridges move slightly when you walk across them, but they don’t sway greatly from side to side as you may envision a rope bridge doing. What you’re most likely to feel when you walk across a hanging bridge is a teetering beneath your feet as the bridge’s metal floor panels adjust to your footsteps.”

To best minimize movement as you cross a hanging bridge, walk in the middle of the bridge to avoid shifting your weight to either side. Hold onto both sides of the bridge with your hands for support (again, to avoid shifting your weight to one side if you happen to lose your balance when you walk), and walk slowly. The faster you walk, the more the metal floor panels will teeter from side to side. If possible, don’t cross a hanging bridge when other people are on it. The steps of hikers at the opposite end of the bridge can cause the entire bridge to move, so sometimes waiting until they’ve fully crossed the bridge can help your journey feel less wobbly.

Age requirements and weight limits for the Sky Walk Hanging Bridges

There is currently no minimum age requirement or maximum weight limit imposed on individuals who are interested in exploring the Sky Walk Hanging Bridges at the Treetopia Park.

Young travelers and travelers with disabilities

Exploring the Sky Walk Hanging Bridges is a family-friendly activity. If you’ll be traveling with kids, it’s important to know that children (ages 0-5 years) are welcome to explore the Sky Walk Hanging Bridges at the Treetopia Park for free with a paying adult.

Unfortunately, given the rugged terrain of the nature trails, the Sky Walk Hanging Bridges at the Treetopia Park are not wheelchair-accessible.

The Treetopia Park‘s other tours and attractions

The Treetopia Park‘s Arboreal Tour

Less popular than the Treetopia Park‘s tram, ziplining tour, and hanging bridges is its Arboreal Tour. Previously, the Arboreal Tour was only a tree-climbing tour, but construction is underway to transform the activity into a mash-up of tree-climbing, obstacle course, and bike zipline experiences. When complete, the Arboreal Tour will be available to reserve on its own or as part of a combo tour that includes one or more of the Treetopia Park‘s classic activities.

The Treetopia Park‘s Operations Center (parking, lockers, and a souvenir shop)

The operations center at the Treetopia Park is a modern facility complete with a comfortable lobby, a well-stocked souvenir store, and lockers that are free to use by tour participants. There’s also a large parking lot with plenty of space for rental cars. (Parking is free.)

The Treetopia Park‘s restaurant

The only place to eat at the Treetopia Park is the Hard Frog Cafe restaurant. Typical Costa Rican food is served. Most of the Treetopia Park‘s tours have an option to add lunch at an extra charge, if you’d like to prearrange the meal with your tour.

Photo/video souvenirs and GoPro rentals

As part of the Sky Trek Canopy Ziplining Tour, you’ll have an opportunity to purchase photos and/or videos of your tour experience upon tour completion. If you’d rather capture your own tour footage, you’re only permitted to do so using GoPro-style action cameras. GoPro cameras and accessories are available to rent, subject to availability, at the Treetopia Park for a fee.

Tour transportation services (shuttles) and road conditions to/from the park

If you won’t have access to a rental car and therefore won’t be able to drive yourself to/from the Treetopia Park, you can elect to add the park’s own round-trip transportation service (roughly $10.00 plus tax per person) to your tour reservation. Like reservations for tours, reservations for transportation services are required.

The drive from the center of Santa Elena (Monteverde’s downtown core) to the Treetopia Park takes approximately 10 minutes. Half of the drive is conducted on paved roads (roads #606 and #619) and the other half is conducted on a slightly rougher, unnamed road where stones and potholes are common. (The unnamed road leads to the entrance of the Treetopia Park, and beyond it, the entrances to the Selvatura Park and the Santa Elena Cloud Forest Biological Reserve). Although having a 4×4 vehicle is an advantage, one is not required to reach the Treetopia Park from within the Santa Elena/Monteverde region.
