    Costa Rica - Pacific
    Created to raise the world's consciousness of the importance of the tropical rainforests, the Pacific Rain Forest Aerial Tram allows guests to discover the hidden secrets and hanging gardens of the Transitional Tropical Rainforest from an awe-inspiring perspective.

    The Pacific Rain Forest Aerial Tram is an eco-tourism project with 222 acres (90 hectares) of rainforest, showcasing small waterfalls and scenic views of the Pacific Coast.

    Transitional Tropical Rainforest: the Rain Forest Aerial Tram - Pacific flies through a transitional area between the extremely rare tropical dry forest and the tropical rainforest. This junction between the two ecosystems is packed with exotic wildlife and full of bright tropical vegetation.

    Facilities and Services: To make your visit to the Pacific Rain Forest Aerial Tram comfortable, Rain Forest Aerial Tram offers a coffee shop selling cold drinks and snacks including pastries, fruit, and sandwiches. They also serve cappuccino and espresso made with Costa Rica’s famous export-grade coffee.

    Costa Rica - Atlantic
    The first Rain Forest Aerial Tram ever built takes you over an expansive private nature preserve on Costa Rica's Atlantic Coast. Located 50 minutes from San José, the capital city, they are a sanctuary which shelters an eco-tourism and research park unlike any in the world... the Rain Forest Aerial Tram – Atlantic.

    The Rain Forest Aerial Tram – Atlantic is a 475-hectare (1,200-acre) private reserve, it shares a 10 km border with Braulio Carrillo National Park and constitutes a buffer zone between the park and farming lands.

    The park´s multiple gateways take you to each unique rainforest dimension: flights above the canopy treetop, guided nature hikes for all levels of physical ability, a snake exhibit (with more than ten reptile species), a multi-colored Frog and Butterfly Garden, bird watching and opportunities to overnight at the Rain Forest Lodge whose walls all but blend right into the forest.

    St. Lucia
    Come fly through St. Lucia's rainforest and discover a whole new world.

    Flowers bloom with shameless abundance, Giant trees tower over the landscape and provide food and shelter for St. Lucia's indigenous and endangered parrot - the gorgeous Amazona Versicolor.

    Immerse yourself in the rainforest. Nurtured by warm, gentle rains and rich volcanic soils, St. Lucia's forests have achieved a state of sublime ancient majesty. The gondolas safely glide through and over the treetops, where knotted, twisting woody vines wind to the tops of old-growth rainforest trees. Dense thickets of SUITea! vegetation merge with cascades of flowers.

    Lavender stars, orange bursts, yellow berries and white lace thrive on the branches of fragrant flowering trees. Giant Chatannier and Gommier trees tower over the landscape.

    Dominica
    Experience a wild, mountainous nature reserve in the center of Dominica's isolated wilderness.

    Verdant greens and brilliant canopy colors are the result of three hundred inches of annual rainfall on the island. Countless waterfalls, brooks and rivers course through these tropical lands and tumble into a deep river gorge that can only be viewed from the tram gondolas and suspension bridge.

    Discover plants and life forms that are usually hidden from the human eye in the rainforest treetops. Leam about a little-seen world of intense beauty and an extraordinary biological diversity.

    Walk across a suspension bridge that spans the Breakfast River Gorge. The 350-foot drop makes for a breathtaking view and an awesome experience.
