After hotel pickup in San Salvador by private vehicle, enjoy a 90-minute drive into the Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountain range. Upon arrival at the zipline course in Apaneca — a village in the heart of El Salvador’s rainforest canopy — you'll receive a safety briefing and get fitted into equipment by on-site staff, then take a short uphill walk to the first platform.
Approximately 12 ziplines are organized in ascending order of length, reaching 6,500 feet in entirety through the forest. Start off swinging from tree to tree on shorter cables to get accustomed to sitting in your harness and using the brakes, and catch glimpses of toucans and squirrels as you make like Tarzan through the canopy cover.
The shorter ziplines done, fly across yawning valleys, spot eagles catching air, and admire views of a coffee plantation below. If you’re visiting in April or May, thousands of white coffee blooms blanket the fields; in January and February, the flowers are supplanted by shiny red berries. If you chose the upgrade to include a personal guide, you'll learn more cool facts about the local geology and cultural history in between zips.

After the final zipline, unwind your adrenaline-pumped body with provided refreshments. Your 5-hour tour ends with return to your hotel by private vehicle unless you've selected the optional full-day tour (see Itinerary for more details).
