Chiclets Zipline

Located in Playa Hermosa, next to Jaco Beach and near to Marriott Los Suenos. Come and fly with us through FOURTEEN cables, one suspended bridge, UNIQUE OCEAN VIEWS and a lot of fun in a magnificient rain forest, FLY from tree to tree at 30 miles per hour in ziplines that go through the mountains and stretch along the coast, with an AMAZING landscape created from a perfect combination of the rain forest lush vegetation and the sea breeze, there is simply no other ride like this. Chiclets Zipline is a must if you are seeking for a GREAT adventure on Jaco Beach town, blessed to be located right on the edge where the mountain gently touches the ocean. Hence the contrast generated by being only 1000 feet away from the beach but 800 feet above sea level.
