🚋 Welcome to Sky Tram Monteverde
Experience the Magic of the Cloud Forest
Prepare to embark on a journey as you step into the heart of Costa Rica’s enchanting Cloud Forest. At Sky Tram Monteverde, we invite you to experience the magic of this extraordinary ecosystem from a unique vantage point. Our aerial trams will transport you through the lush canopies, offering breathtaking views and unrivaled opportunities to connect with nature.
Sky Tram Monteverde is a beautiful 30-minute ride on an aerial Gondola between 45 and 65 meters (131 and 213 feet) above the Monteverde cloud forest, featuring astonishing views above the canopy.
On this tour, you will travel a distance of 800 meters (2,624 feet) up and down from the reception of Treetopia Park (formerly Sky Adventures Monteverde) to the highest point of the cloud forest. You will ride at an easygoing slow speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) to enjoy the views overlooking the Monteverde cloud forest.
There is a stop at the top of Sky Tram Monteverde before heading back to reception, from where you can walk on a beautiful and easy trail of approximately 200 meters (656 feet), which can take up to 30 minutes if you take it slow. From that point, you will also have access to a couple of beautiful viewpoint platforms overlooking the cloud forest and an observation tower from where you can see the Arenal volcano, Nicoya’s Gulf, and a panoramic view of the entire Monteverde region.
😍 “THE Views!”
Sky Tram Monteverde exceeded my expectations! The tram ride was serene, and the short and easy nature trail at the top was an excellent way to connect with nature. The observation tower was also a highlight as it provided a 360-degree view of the Monteverde region, but be aware that there are many stairs to climb to get to that point. Alternatively, some viewpoints require minimum walking and provide incredible vistas and photo moments. I especially recommend to older folks who can’t walk much and still want to experience the Monteverde cloud forest.”

🌳 Why Choose Sky Tram Monteverde?
Spectacular Views:
Eco-Friendly:
We’re committed to preserving the environment with minimal ecological impact on this unique ecosystem. At Sky Walk Monteverde, we mitigate the tiny environmental effects of the aerial trams (which use diesel as their energy source) by protecting many acres of sacred cloud forest that would otherwise be used for cattle and agriculture. We also take pride in other environmental practices, such as recycling and digital technology, to make reservations online rather than on paper.
Photographer’s Paradise:
Capture the magic with unparalleled photo opportunities as you soar above the treetops. There are many viewpoints in the Monteverde, but Sky Tram Monteverde has them all in one place. With a 360-degree view overlooking the cloud forest and the most iconic sights on Monteverde’s outskirts, the possibilities for amazing photographs are endless. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer, an amateur, or a regular with a modern mobile phone, our aerial tram will give you a unique vantage point for taking fantastic pictures.

If you don’t have a car to get to the park, we can provide a free shuttle service from your Monteverde Hotel/Airbnb to the park and back to your Hotel/Airbnb. Our shuttles are large vans with A/C, and they pick up/drop off multiple customers simultaneously.
We have specific pickup times depending on your location, so after you book online, you will first receive your confirmation email, and then (a few hours later), you will get a follow-up email with the pickup time at your Hotel/Airbnb.
On the way back from the park to your Hotel/Airbnb, our shuttles also leave the park at specific times (usually every hour), so you may need to wait at the park’s reception for a while after you finish your activity. We work like this to minimize the number of cars on the road to keep up with our gas emissions target to remain a sustainable park.
Please note that some Hotel/Airbnb’s locations are advertised as part of Monteverde, when in reality, they are far away from town. And they might be outside our service area. If that is your case, we will let you know via a follow-up email, so that we can try to find a solution for you or cancel your reservation with a full refund.
