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.

Features
- Experience the TreeTram cableway as a bonus included in your SkyTrek zipline tour.

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.

Thank you, Nikki, for your help getting us all organized with this tour. Everything went so smoothly. This company is very well run and organized. We started off with our hanging bridges tour, and we’re even able to see monkeys! We then had a small break in order to have some lunch before taking the aerial tram up to the top to begin or zip line tour. The guides did a really good job of checking us for safety with our equipment and what to do. They were definitely focused on safety. They have the braking system where you hold your hands on the bar. Other places have one where you wear a glove and you slow yourself by holding onto the line. I ended up never needing to break, so I don’t really know the difference, but I know that is important to some people. Just a heads up for those who are nervous about trying this. The very last zip line ends on a platform, and there are no stairs down. You have the option to either jump off with a bungee, or having them lower you down. You could not pay me enough to jump off. They very kindly lowered me down, and that is not near as scary as it sounds!
