If walking through a rain forest seems exciting, then get ready the experience of traveling on top of it. This is a reality in the central mountain rain forest of Costa Rica. The Rain Forest Aerial Tram is an adventurous eco-tourism sightseeing experience, taking visitors on a 70-minute excursion through the canopy of the rain forest. Discover the beauty of the natural hanging gardens of air plants, animals and birds hidden at the top of the many and diverse tall trees. Home to two-thirds of all rain forest species, the rain forest canopy is a little-known world of tremendous beauty and extraordinary biological diversity. The tramway runs through a private reserve that borders Braulio Carrillo National Park. This contributes to the protection of one of the richest canopy communities in the world. The canopy is full of both known and unknown plant species. The lower, outbound leg of the tram ride skims over hilltops and introduces you to the sub-canopy -- a dark world of overburdened limbs dripping with mosses, ferns and orchids. Lianas and vines drape over branches and traverse forest spaces where they are commonly used as paths by many animals. The return leg reveals an even more dramatic portion of the trip as the cars glide on a journey through and above the canopy. Before returning to the pier, enjoy a tasty Costa Rican lunch .
