The three parks, compared
| Tour | From | Duration | Group size | Rating | Our take |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Selvatura Park: Zipline Canopy Tour | ~$60-72 | 2 hours (15 cables, 3 km) | Standard | N/A | The only zipline course actually inside the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. Best pick if you want to pair ziplining with hanging bridges, a butterfly garden, and a sloth sanctuary in one visit. |
| Selvatura Park: Extreme Adventure | Check current price | Extended circuit | Standard | N/A | Selvatura's upgraded circuit for those who want more than the standard 15 cables. Compare inclusions against the base zipline tour before paying more. |
Which to book
- Want ziplines plus the reserve experience in one stop: Selvatura. It’s the only park inside the actual cloud forest reserve, and its combo packages bundle in hanging bridges and wildlife exhibits.
- Want the single longest, fastest zipline in the country, and don’t mind arranging your own transport: 100% Aventura, best value if booked directly, and home to the record-holding Superman cable.
- Want maximum adrenaline beyond ziplining: Extremo, for the bungee jump and super swing on top of the standard circuit.
- Booking through GetYourGuide or Viator: expect to pay more than booking direct. The tradeoff is convenience and English-language support if you don’t have a rental car.
Once you’ve picked a zipline park, decide between Selvatura and Sky Walk for hanging bridges, or add a night walk for the nocturnal wildlife ziplining can’t show you.
Common questions
Which Monteverde zipline park has the longest cable?
100% Aventura, with its 1,590-metre (about 1-mile) 'Superman' zipline, the longest in Monteverde and in all of Latin America. It's part of a 10-line circuit that also includes a hammock bridge, a rappel, and a Tarzan swing.
Which Monteverde zipline park is cheapest?
100% Aventura and Extremo Park are typically the cheapest when booked directly with the operator. Selvatura runs somewhat higher but bundles in more, including a non-guided hanging-bridges hike.
Is Selvatura or 100% Aventura better for ziplining?
Selvatura is the only zipline course located inside the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve itself, and pairs naturally with its hanging bridges, butterfly garden, and sloth sanctuary if you want a full day. 100% Aventura is more zipline-focused and has the single longest cable in the country, the 1,590-metre Superman line.
Are Monteverde zipline tours cheaper booked directly or through GetYourGuide/Viator?
Often cheaper booked directly with the park if you have your own transport. Third-party platforms typically cost more once transportation, guide services and platform fees are added.
