Rain Forest Aerial Tram (Atlantic)
One of the most captivating experiences ever, is going through
a forest, and let your self enchant by the beauty that nature
offers. Especially, if the journey is made from the top of
trees crowns of rainy tropical forest.
This Aerial Tram (located 50 minutes from San José's
center) it’s in a private reservation, near Braulio
Carrillo National Park.
Those with physical limitation, can also enjoy this activity,
since it has access ramps in the car that takes you to the
boarding platform, what allows you to get into the Aerial
Tram without problems. In the road toward the boarding platform,
you go on a small bridge over a river, but if you prefer,
you can go down and while the car crosses the bridge, a parallel
journey can be made in a hanging bridge.
Already in the "gondolas" (a total of 25), the journey
that take one an a half hour begins, time that you can use
for being filled with the peace that the environment offers,
and for appreciate the nature, from a different view. You
can even see the creeks formed after the rain. Hummingbirds,
monkeys, butterflies, snakes and other species of animals
can also be seen.
At halfway, it is possible to descend out of the "gondola"
and walk for a small path that goes to a mirador, from which
you can contemplate part of Braulio Carrillo National Park
and the Caribbean’s plains.
Continuing with the trip, it’s possible to observe Caño
Negro Volcano, but only if there’s not a lot of fog.
Inside the reservation, there are other two paths. In one
of them, it’s possible to observe frogs of different
color, although they are very pretty, you should not touch
them because they are poisonous.
Is better to make this trip in Aerial Tram early in the morning,
so you have more possibility for making this journey without
rain and to enjoy more of all that the Aerial Tram of the
rainy forest offers.
