The most precious possession of the earth, rainforests are dying habitats around the world. Costa Rica has taken a proactive role in conserving the life-blood of our planet. Although much is being done to protect them, these special ecosystems are being cut away at an alarming pace. Luckily, the people of Costa Rica have taken a progressive attitude towards protecting this natural gift. In the jungles of Costa Rica one will find a safe heaven for eco-tourism. This tiny nation plays host to roughly 5% of the world’s biodiversity and a lot is being done to protect and preserve these endangered zones.

The expansive rainforests and jungles of Costa Rica take up over a quarter of the total landmass. The most exciting way to explore these truly magnificent and enchanting jungles is via canopy tour. Developed by US scientists as a way to study rainforest habitat without touching the ecosystem, canopy tours enable the majesty of the rainforest to be enjoyed without any disturbance. For tourists, the canopy tour is fantastic way to explore a truly unique habitat without disturbing the wildlife or endangering the trees themselves. Canopy tours have become the ideal way to get a bird’s eye view of the jungle.

While walking, hiking and treks through the rainforest are excellent ways to experience the rainforest, canopy tours are a cut above due to the fact that the view is unparalleled and offers the opportunity to see the flora and fauna in their natural environment. The density of plant life in the rainforest can obscure the view from below. Plant life at the top is a special habitat that should not be missed.

Some canopy tours consist of walkways and sky walks through Costa Rica’s jungles. They have bridges laid across a valley from which one can go above the canopy of trees to enjoy a panoramic aerial view of the forest. However, the most popular form of canopy tour consists of landings built into trees and a zip line strung in between. Tourists are then sent zipping across the forests from tree to tree on these lines. Visit www.DreamForestCanopy.com to learn more about canopy tours in Costa Rica!
