Note: The “Tree Tram” cable car is the new name that the Treetopia Park, formerly known as Sky Adventures Monteverde, assigned to the Sky Tram aerial tram. You may continue to see the Tree Tram cited as the “Sky Tram” online and in print while businesses and individuals work to update their resources.
Take the TreeTram cable car up the mountain, then experience an exhilarating journey through the cloud forest on 1.9 miles of adrenaline-filled ziplines. Our top priority is ensuring both your safety and enjoyment, with the highest standards in place.

What sets us apart?
- Safety is our top priority: we’re dedicated to your safety, ensuring that you’re looked after every second as you enjoy our park.
- Infrastructure: the SkyTrek ziplines aren’t tied to trees. We’ve invested in robust steel platforms and custom-made zipline cables. Plus, we’re proud to offer the only cable car experience in Monteverde.
- Effortless braking: no need to press your hand against the zipline to stop yourself at the end (as unsafe as that sounds, it’s very common in other parks). Our unique pulley and braking system take care of that for you.
- Family-friendly: our zipline experience is suitable for children aged 5 and up, as well as the elderly. There is no hiking required throughout the entire tour.
- Customer-Centric approach: our certified guides are committed to providing a secure, enjoyable, and memorable tour. Your satisfaction is at the heart of our service.
Note: A component of the Sky Trek Canopy Tour in Monteverde is the Vertigo Drop, which requires you to jump off a tall metal structure, similar to bungee jumping. Unlike bungee jumping, however, where you bounce back up following the jump, with the Vertigo Drop, your free fall is slowed by ropes so you land softly on a crash pad amid the forest. If you do not want to experience the Vertigo Drop, consider participating in the Sky Trek Canopy Tour in La Fortuna/Arenal instead. The tour in La Fortuna/Arenal does not include this component.
