Bungee jumping at Monteverde EXTREME

Bungee Jumping at Monteverde is a extreme experience. Besides the famous ziplinning (Canopy) through the cloud forest, there is also bungee jumping to the cloud forest. I came to Costa Rica an this is the best tour I have ever done in the country. I came with http://www.bananaadventuretours.com, a travel agency located in Costa Rica.

Monteverde extreme canopy has one of the most beautiful views of the area, that can be observed during the tour.To reach the major heights, mix the extreme adventure together with the majestic. And admire the rich natural beauty of the forest and its treasures. You will feel exciting emotions when doing the big tarzan swing, the giant rappel, and feeling fantastic distance of each one of the cable. Which reaches up to 2550 feet long and 450 feet height.

Costa Rica´s original countryside

Costa Rica is fundamentally an agricultural country, which over the years has shifted to tourism with an emphasis in ecotourism, adventure and agro tourism. It is a small country, which has a lot to offer to its visitors. As in every tourist country, there is a part of it that is completely dedicated to tourism and offers all the services that a tourist may need when visiting the country. It includes Internet Cafes, restaurants, bars, discotheques, souvenir stores, great supermarkets, banks and ATMs, and a wide variety of tours and other tourist services. Places such as La Fortuna, are dedicated to providing a great variety of hotels, cabins, lodges, tours, travel agencies, among others, and their economy is almost entirely dedicated to these services.


There is a branch of tourism in the country that has been developed to offer the agricultural side of the country, which is agro ecotourism. In this type of tourism, tourist enjoy what would be a farmers life, showing tours such as the pineapple tour, coffee tour, the hacienda tour, and artisanal fishing, among others. However, there is another side of the country that some tourist would like to know, but that almost always is shown when the tourist stay in Costa Rica for a long time. We are referring to the original true country side, where farmers live and Ticos and Ticas develop their day by day life.


When visiting Costa Rica visitors may see scenes like the one in the picture, where a couple of cows are running freely in the roads, probably because they escape from some farm, or sightseeing of goats farms, and homemade cheese sales.


The “pulperias”, usually located close by a small town, where they sell all kinds of snacks, and sometimes even work as small supermarkets with the basics; the common wood houses, with barking dogs, and the everyday people who work to maintain the country running smoothly. Costa Rica is truly a paradise on earth, come and enjoy the wonders of this amazing country.
