Exciting Zipline Tours in Colorado, Mexico, Costa Rica, and New Mexico

Wow, how can you beat a combo tour in the jungles of Costa Rica that includes: a 10 zip line canopy tour with some of the highest, longest (up to a half a mile), and fastest zip lines in Costa Rica; a rappel down 265′ next to a waterfall and a rope ladder climb back to the top; and a horseback ride back down the mountain.

As part of a fun vacation to Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico we signed up for a combo tour with Puerto Vallarta Tours that included a fun ATV ride up a narrow twisting dirt road through the jungle in the Sierra Madre Mountains. After about an hour we arrived at Rancho Las Vegas to start zipping on eleven different zip lines. We zipped through the trees, down some steep zip lines, and across a river and ended up at a small quaint Mexican restaurant for some good food, margaritas, and samples of Tequila.

What a fun and thrilling zipline tour that starts with a chair lift ride to the summit of a mountain at 10,600′. This zipline tour includes 6 different zip lines that go from platform to platform and one that is a dual 1600′ zip from one peak to another 270′ above the forest floor. The scenery is stunning and at the top of the summit is a world renowned mountain bike park, an 18 hole disc golf course, and a restaurant with a deck and jaw dropping view.
