Canopy
Tours. Los veneros
THE LARGEST CANOPY TOUR IN MEXICO.
Canopy Tours Las Juntas y Los Veranos is an
exciting ECO
adventure. Zipping from tree to tree,
explore the indigenous
jungle ¨canopy¨. This tour
boasts of being the only zip line
tour with a river
crossing (a true geologic wonder)! While
zipping
along at 30 mph at an astonishing 300 feet, take in
the wonderful sights and sounds of Mexico's
magnificent
environment.
Your tour begins 5 kilometers south of Puerto
Vallarta where
our bilingual driver escorts you on a
scenic, complimentary
drive along the southern
tropical coastline. From our air
conditioned van or
covered open-air Mercedes jungle cruiser,
view the
lovely beaches, palatial oceanside mansions and the
picturesque Los Arcos Isles-a bird sanctuary. Once
arriving in
Los Juntas de los Veranos, the friendly
experienced staff will
secure you in a professional
climbing harness. Here you are
thoroughly briefed
about the adventure on which you are about
to
embark. Guides are fluent in English and extremely
safety
oriented. Along the way they´ll share their
knowledge and
individual brand of humor.
Among these ancient trees, our guides will point out
local
coffee trees, vanilla vines, exotic orchids and
cactus used to
make tequila. (Some explanations of
which are derived from
myth and some factual- a
great opportunity to test your
knowledge). The
forest is alive with bromeliads,
philodendrons,
strangler figs and tree-bound termite nests
used by
migrating parakeets to house and feed their
offspring
.
No matter what, you will find diverse cornucopia
coexisting
here in this ecological preserve.
The tour offers a total of 12 cables. The highest
cable is 110
meters above the river and the longest
is 350 meters. A short
3-5 minute walk among the
jungle flora brings you to a spiral
staircase. This
consists of a well-balanced, well anchored,
spiral
metal staircase where you are tethered while
awaiting
your turn. Guides carry your gear, prepare
you and send and
receive you at each cable.
Depending on weight and maturity,
children may be
requested to ride tandem with a guide.
