Hanging Bridges, Ziplines and Waterfalls!

Check out this sweet day trip idea that offers a chance to explore local fauna & flora, some novelty and a bit of adrenaline for the brave ones! Sun Trails in Montezuma offers access to Montezuma Waterfalls from the top of the town through an array of hanging bridges and trails, as well as the option of zip lining through the jungle! This hiking or zipping adventure is surely to be remembered.

The trails through the jungle are wide enough for carrying a hiking backpack, so you can easily discover them with the youngest ones. The hike by itself is pretty easy, but it does get steep for a short period of the road, so make sure you are wearing comfortable shoes. Also, fyi, the entrance through the Sun Trails bridges costs about 3000colones/adult. If you are lucky, you will spot some wildlife while on your trail- birds, snakes, lizards, butterflies and/or other critters! For the brave ones at heart, there is an option of ziplining through the jungle- my 6 year old really enjoyed it. He needed to ride with the guide on some of the ziplines since he is pretty lightweight (*might have not gotten to the end of the line on his own). The guide has explained that some 5 year olds can ride by themselves (depending on their weight and level of confidence) while some 8 year olds still choose to ride with a guide on all the rides, so it all really depends on the kiddo, and their level of confidence. You know your kids best, so you will know what is right for them. Either way, with or without the guide, adventure is guaranteed! And then you can just enjoy the beautiful waterfalls and refreshing bath in the river water.
