Canopy Observation Plataform
The Canopy Observation Platform is located within the top branches of an enormous rainforest tree 34 meters (112 feet) above the ground. You don't have to do any work on this tour as we will hoist you up to the platform with an electric winch, using a special harness and ropes.
A fully trained English speaking guide will be with you on the platform. Most guests stay in the canopy for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This tour is about experiencing the tranquil world of the tree tops, enjoying the canopy flora and, with a little luck, observing whatever fauna might happen by.
Duration: 2 - 3 hours
Times: Monday - Saturday 8 AM / 11 AM / 2 PM
Price: $35.00 per person
Limit: 3 guests on the platform at any one time

Author and naturalist Jack Ewing shares a wealth of observations and experiences, gathered from more than three decades of living in southwestern Costa Rica, home to some of the most prolific and diverse ecosystems on Earth. More than just a simple collection of essays, Monkeys are Made of Chocolate is a testament to the wonder of life in all its countless guises, as seen through the eyes of a man with a gift for subtle discernment and a natural flair for storytelling. |

Capuchin Capers
The troop of 26 monkeys was strung out over about 100 meters, moving through the forest. The lead monkey, a mature female, came to an area where the tree cover was broken by an open swamp with only a narrow corridor two trees wide going around it.
