About this experience

A van will pick up you and your party at your hotel and deliver you to the private river valley in minutes. Professional guides greet you at the front of the 850-acre private river valley and escort you deep into the Jungle to the zipline training center. After fitting you with safety equipment you take a short hike to the first platform located next to a 180 foot waterfall named El Encanto. Keep your eyes peeled as Troops of White Faced Monkeys and exotic birds that call the valley home. Hook up to the first line and let out a Whoop as you fly down the first of 8 lines through the jungle, leading you to the final 600 meter run from the top of Ocean Ranch Park down the river to the Rancho where the crowd cheers you in. Fresh fruit and juice is served as you soak in the Jurassic Park setting.
