A perfect combination of programs to do in Monteverde! You will start with the zipline, which is just terrific, we loved it so much! Even if it might seem a little frightening at the beginning, right after the first zipline you will forget about your fear and just enjoy the ride. The guides are also superb at making you feel at ease. Don't miss the Tarzan swing at the end, it's super cool! After the zipline you will have the chance to have lunch at a restaurant there if you want, there was great variety and all was delicious. You can choose to do the hanging bridges or the butterfly garden after, it depends on your preference and your pace. For the butterfly garden there are tours each hour at a given time (you will be briefed), while you will do the hanging bridges on your own, so it's up to you to choose the order. This is a very authentic experience all in all, I absolutely recommend it!

It was a great 3 in 1 option. Really liked the ziplining, was scary at first but so exhilarating. The suspension bridges were great to just admire the rainforest. The butterfly gatden tour was great; i learnt so many facts that i didnt know beforehand! 🦋

Full description

Treat yourself to a day of fun in Monteverde Park. Zip through the Monteverde Cloud Forest tree canopy, take a self-guided walk on suspension bridges, and wander around extensive butterfly gardens with a guide.

Experience the Monteverde Cloud Forest by zip line. Then head to the tree-top walkway, the ideal experience for those who want to explore the beauty of the canopy at their own pace and appreciate the region's incredible array of vegetation and exotic bird life. Explore the walkway made up of 8 suspension bridges linked by 1.9 miles of trails, the widest and strongest bridge system in Costa Rica. The bridges range in length from 150 feet to 500 feet and are suspended at heights ranging from 36 feet to 180 feet. Next, discover a giant butterfly garden that is 300 feet long and 90 feet wide, one of the largest on the continent. See the massive 50-foot dome ceiling and get up close to 50 species of butterflies.

Take a guided tour of a live exhibit to learn about the life cycle, special behaviors, and evolution of these butterflies. Learn how precise and sensitive temperature control allows species to survive across a wide range of altitudes and climate conditions in Costa Rica.

The Zipline seemed more like an amusement park ride than an experience. All other ziplines we've done in the past where all group experiences with guides advancing through the course with the group. This one was a larger operation designed to streamline as many people as possible through the course in one day. I was forced to separate from my family and ride one line after another without any interaction with the people I came with. The bridge walk was awesome, albeit expensive for what it was. The butterfly pavilion was truly impressive, and we could've spent at lot more time there had not for needing to catch the next transportation shuttle to not have to wait two hours for the next one.
