Sky Trek is also a great opportunity to have panoramic views at two observation towers that offer views to the Pacific on a clear day it is also possible to see the Northern Lowlands that stretch all the way to the Caribbean.

Sky Tram

Begining April 1st an 800 meter silent tram will be the start of the Sky Trek Tour, if you wish to do Sky Trek you must select the Sky Tram/Sky Trek tour. The Sky Tram ascends along a beautiful cloud forest ridge and allows for stops along the way to observe plant and animal life and learn form an experienced guide. The duration of the tram takes about 20 minutes before arriving to an observatory platform. Those continuing on to the Sky Trek will descend via the cables back to the central office, if you are not continuing on to the Sky Trek cables you will return via the Tram.
