Canopy Adventures at El Valle

The Canopy Tour, located around the spectacular waterfall "El Macho" in "El Valle de Anton," offers the adventurous the opportunity to ascend into the forest canopy and see jungle life from a perspective previously available only to a selected few nature researchers and photographers. This is accomplished by modifying techniques originally used by spelunkers(cavers) and canyon rappelers to provide a safe and enjoyable passage above the forest floor for family members of all ages. "El Valle de Anton" is a picturesque little town situated 700 meters above sea level in the crater of a gigantic extinct volcano. In fact, it is the second largest inhabited extinct volcano in the world. It is famous for its handicrafts, its strange land formations and its waterfalls. The Canopy Tour helps preserve the private forest reserve of "Refugio Ecológico" where the Macho Waterfall is located and which is administered by Raúl Arias de Para.
