   What is the Rainforest Aerial Tram?

The Rain Forest Aerial Tram, adjacent to Braulio Carillo National Park, is a unique ecotourism and research facility which opened in October of 1994.Visitors from around the world ride the Tram on a fascinating excursion through the rain forest canopy and its hanging gardens of plants and animals hidden at the tops of tall tropical trees. 

There is lots to see and do at the Aerial Tram. The Aerial Tram Ride itself takes 80 minutes. Guided Nature Walks in small groups are also available, as well as marked nature trails for hikers. Visitors  should plan to spend at least four hours here, and most come for the  day. 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 canopy is full of both known and unknown plant and animal species. Visitors will be able to see canopy life close-up for the first time, and scientists will discover new things about the ecology of the rain forest. Due to its inaccessibility, little scientific work has been done concerning life in the tops of tropical trees. The tram, by being the best access tool in the world, has become a center for canopy exploration and research. (Photos and information courtesy of Aerial Tram).
