Rainforest Adventures Park & Exhibits

Your day begins with a beautiful scenic drive through Braulio Carrillo National Park, one of Costa Rica’s most biodiverse protected areas. Upon arrival at Rainforest Adventures, you’ll be welcomed by a series of interactive exhibits designed to introduce you to the forest’s incredible residents.

You’ll also have the chance to visit the park’s newest attraction—the Sloth Sanctuary, where rescued sloths are cared for by experts working to prepare them for a safe return to the wild.

Braulio Carrillo Aerial Tram - A Rainforest Viewing Experience for the Whole Family

The Aerial Tram is the most peaceful—and picturesque—way to experience the rainforest canopy. Glide silently above the forest floor in an open-air gondola as your naturalist guide interprets everything happening around you: birds in flight, monkeys swinging between branches, and layers of dense green foliage stretching as far as the eye can see. This gentle ride is perfect for all ages and mobility levels, offering a rare bird’s-eye perspective of the rainforest that you simply can't get from the ground. It’s the ideal choice for photographers, families, and anyone who wants to truly connect with nature at a relaxed pace.

Braulio Carrillo Zipline Tour - Canopy Tour Experience for Adventure Seekers

If you’re craving a more adrenaline-filled way to explore the canopy, the Zipline Canopy Tour delivers unforgettable excitement. Soar across multiple cables—some stretching hundreds of meters—high above the treetops and deep into the heart of the rainforest. With professional guides leading the way and safety as the top priority, this adventure combines spectacular views with Costa Rica’s famous “pura vida” thrill. It’s perfect for active travelers and families who want to experience the canopy from a whole new angle.

Braulio Carrillo Sloth Project - Sloth Rehabilitation Center

Your visit also supports conservation through the park’s inspiring new Sloth Project, a rehabilitation center designed to rescue, treat, and prepare sloths for reintroduction into the wild. Learn about the challenges sloths face in rapidly changing environments, meet the dedicated experts who care for them, and observe these gentle creatures in a safe, naturalistic setting.
