Selvatura Park

Adventure park with the area's longest network of hanging bridges and one of its best zipline circuits.

Selvatura, near the Santa Elena reserve, is one of the biggest of the Monteverde adventure operations. It runs a 3-kilometre loop of suspension bridges that lets you walk through the canopy at its own level, eye to eye with epiphytes and bromeliads.

The zipline circuit — 13 cables strung between platforms across deep ravines, plus a "Superman"-position line and a tarzan swing — is one of the more thrilling in the area and well-maintained. The park also has a hummingbird garden, a butterfly garden, and a small herpetarium. Skip the dolphin-style "extras" and stick to the bridges and the zipline; both are worth doing.
