Miramar Canopy Zip-line
Once a realm limited to scientific investigations, canopy exploration has quickly become one of the fastest growing and most sought after tour frontiers of the rainforest.

The ideal site area, a 17-acre tract of virgin forest, is called Miramar or “ocean view” referring to its commanding view of the Golfo Dulce and the surrounding rainforest.

Hunt or be hunted is the nighttime order of the rainforest, when many animals are active. In this tour we observe “survival of the
fittest.” Night walking, as opposed to a day hike, is characterized by a much slower moving pace and a sharp inspecting eye. The tour
includes a brief stroll around some wild areas. A fresh-water lagoon near the resort yields treasures like red-eyed tree frogs and other
amphibians, exotic insects, night birds, caimans, snakes and other reptiles.
In these 2½ days, we will take the time to focus on a variety of habitats: lower mountain along with coastal primary and secondary rainforests, forest edges, tropical orchards, pastureland, mangrove estuaries, Pacific shorelines and streamlined gallery forests. This tour package can be customized to focus on target species as well as be geared towards different levels of physical exertion. This package can also be upgraded to include pelagic boat tours and river mangrove kayaking excursions.
