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
