Embrace the Thrill of Nature

Thanksgiving weekend in Jaco, Costa Rica, is not just about turkey and cranberry sauce; it’s about embracing the wild, the adventurous, and the heart-pounding experiences that this vibrant region has to offer.

As you ascend the mountain on a tractor, anticipation builds for the adrenaline rush that awaits. The 12 platforms and 10 cables offer panoramic views of Herradura Bay and the Nicoya Gulf, with the longest cable stretching an exhilarating 2400 feet. As you soar through the air, keep an eye out for the vibrant scarlet macaws and playful whiteface monkeys that call this paradise home.
