Discover all the secrets the rainforest has to hide while taking care of Planet Earth in this unique eco-tourism tour. The Rainforest Aerial Tram is one of a kind research facility that counts with a private reserve and offers different services since 1994.

Also, this tour includes walking among the trails of the property, a visit to the butterfly garden and lunch inside the facilities of the place.
What to expect
The Rain Forest Aerial Tram is a unique eco-tourism and research facility that opened in October 1994 and is located on 1,100 acres of lush tropical rain forest serving as an important six and a half-mile long buffer zone for Braulio Carrillo National Park.
The Tram takes visitors on a fascinating excursion through the canopy of the rain forest with its hanging gardens of plants and animals hidden at the tops of tall tropical trees. Home to two-thirds of all rain forest species, the rain forest canopy is a little-known world of tremendous beauty and extraordinary biological diversity. The site, adjacent to the northern border of Braulio Carrillo National Park, possesses one of the richest canopy communities in the world.
