Sugar Cane – Trapiche Tour

Another great short experience we recommend is a visit to a “trapiche” (sugar cane mill), owned and operated by a Costa Rican family.

Here it’s possible to see how sugar cane is processed, to walk through the plantations and to taste its varied products.

An explanation about coffee, bananas and other crops is included.

Selvatura Park

Without doubt, this on one of the best canopy tours in Costa Rica as the cables are built into the Cloud Forest rather than above it so the feeling is of being immersed in the forest.

Experience gliding along the zip lines through the cloud forest on a canopy tour or take the treetop walkways consisting of a 1.9-mile trail and eight different bridges.

In total, there are 15 cables and 18 viewing platforms that stretch over 2 miles – the longest cable length of any canopy tour in Costa Rica.

Selvature Park also has a butterfly garden and a great hummingbird garden, plus a reptile and amphibian exhibition and a large private insect collection, property of world famous entomologist Dr. Richard Whitten.

Finally, the "Tarzan Swing" at the end of the tour, a large, swing-like contraption allows participants to swing out above the forest and let loose their inner jungle man or woman.
