Original Aerial Tram, Sloths Exhibition & Butterfly Garden

Explore different elevations of a rainforest by riding an aerial tram through the tree canopy and walking along the forest floor with a naturalist guide. The tram is open-air on all sides to provide unobstructed views of the Braulio Carrillo National Park in every direction. As you glide through the rainforest canopy for well over an hour, the guide will point out and describe the natural wonders, which include an enormous variety of indigenous flora and fauna. You may spot spider monkeys swinging among the tree branches, flocks of brightly colored parrots and iridescent hummingbirds flitting from flower to flower. The rainforest is teeming with wildlife, so there is no telling what you may encounter. Similarly, as you follow a trail that winds along the rainforest floor, you will learn about the plants and animals that inhabit the ground level and the understory. You can expect it to be an enlightening and wonderfully fulfilling experience.
