Pozo Azul Canopy Tour

Equipment

In any situation were life is at risk we believe first in redundancy, that's why we are the only canopy with double cable in each zip line, we suspect eventually this feature will be incorporated in other canopy tours.

Our platforms not only comply with all regulations but we use railing around them, so you feel safer while you observe the tree tops around you.

We use progressive breaks to land in platforms with faster cables, and pulleys have a speed reducing systems which works like a disk break, used on rainy weather.

Initial launching platforms are on the ground so you do not have to climb trees making the process much easier

Our guides and procedures: Our team of guides have been selected and trained in accident prevention , rescue and all the first aid procedures, but above all they follow strict operating procedures on every tour with a no-nonsense attitude to make every tour a safe and enjoyable one. Please see the Guest Testimonials section

Location: Hacienda Pozo Azul has a 400 acre protected forest very accessible with a canyon were our 12 cables and 14 platforms have been installed, protected from winds and using old and strong trees, from where you can admire nature and springs running down bellow. This forest is part of a corridor which includes other biological reserves allowing you to enjoy some of the impressive 440 species of birds, 204 species of butterflies, among the 1650 species of vascular plants reported in Sarapiquí as well as mammals which our guides will point out to you.

We end the tour with a spectacular 1000 ft line which crosses the Sarapiquí river canyon landing right on the reception building, leaving you with a feeling of accomplishment.
