Canopy Adventure Barva Volcano

Canopy Adventure "Barva Volcano" is located only 35 min. from the international airport and 40 min. from San Jose; on the province of Heredia at the foothills of the Barva Volcano. It was established in 1998 by a Forest Engineer on a private reserve of over 400 acres. Placed in the middle of a Cloud Forest, at about 7,000 ft above sea level, there are a total of 13 platforms and 8 cables crisscrossing a river while traveling on a protected biological corridor. Starting with easy cables and leaving the best for the end, a 600 ft. run over an amazing waterfall. Although the cables are unforgettable, the adventure is also about the forest, the guides love to share their knowledge of this unique environment with you on a nature walk that is worth the day trip by itself. Suitable for all ages, the youngest adventurer to do this ride was no more than 2 years old and the oldest one yet, 88 springs. Come fly through the cloud forest on this unforgettable adventure right in the Central Valley!!!!

We used Costa Rica Trip Guide three times during our stay and were very, very impressed. We got a private transfer from SJO airport to Monteverde, a shared shuttle service from Monteverde to Manuel Antonio, and then another private transfer from Manuel Antonio back to SJO. In every case the service was impeccable - we couldn't have asked for better. Gerardo, our driver for our airport transfers, was a legend. He got us to Monteverde earlier than we expected, was happy to help me practise some Spanish with him, and helped me do some last minute bird watching on our return to the airport (we arrived in SJO after dark so our first journey was birdless). Honestly couldn't have been happier. For our trip to Manuel Antonio our driver (being terrible at names at the best of times I'm sorry to say I can't remember his - sorry bud!) was similarly brilliant. It was a smooth and comfortable drive, I was able to practise some more Spanish, and he was dead on time both picking us up and dropping us at our hotel. Another absolute gent. As great as our drivers were - and they were truly great - what really impressed me was the customer service. Our flight was delayed significantly getting into SJO, I made an error booking our shared shuttle service, and we needed some help choosing the best time to book our journey back to SJO. In every case, I contacted Francinne by email and she was just the best. She reminded me they were keeping an eye on our flight time and would be anticipating our new expected arrival time. She emailed me back within 6 minutes to correct the date of our shared shuttle! And she helped amend our journey back time by an hour (we had overestimated the time it would take to get to the airport again). I can't thank you enough, Francinne. This was my first time in Costa Rica and Costa Rica Trip Guide made our travel within the country a breeze. I only booked our trip from SJO airport to Monteverde with them in advance, thinking I might use another service for our other trips so it would be better to remain flexible while we were in CR. After our first trip went so smoothly, we didn't look at anyone else. Next time I'm going to CR, I'll be booking all my trips with Costa Rica Trip Guide before I leave. Thanks very much guys!
