Aventura San Juan del Sur - Zipline Canopy Tour Park

Why You Should Visit Parque de Aventura Las Nubes in Nicaragua

"Located about 10 minutes from the surf town of San Juan del Sur, this privately owned cloud-forest reserve sits near 1,800 feet elevation and was restored with conservation in mind—its owner hand-cut the steep access road, limited infrastructure to roughly 1% of the land, and replanted over 80,000 trees. Visitors travel up the narrow mountain road in open-air all-terrain vehicles, then can choose a short nature hike or an Adrenaline Tour featuring seven zip lines, a suspended stair bridge, a rappel tower, a “Tarzan” swing and multiple aerial platforms; nature tours start at $20 and the full Adrenaline Tour at $49. Wildlife roams freely across the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor—sloths, howler monkeys, toucans, wild cats, anteaters, armadillos and more than 100 species of birds are regularly spotted by knowledgeable guides who know the forest’s rhythms. At the mountaintop a giant open-air terrace (with a restaurant and bar on the west-side elevated terrace) offers sweeping views of Pacific beaches, the Continental Divide, Lake Nicaragua and nearby volcanoes, and the cooler, lusher cloud-forest atmosphere provides a striking contrast to the coast below." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.
