Selvatura Park
A private ecological park next to the Santa Elena reserve, with 8 canopy bridges and 13 zip-lines through primary cloud forest, plus a hummingbird garden and butterfly garden.
Selvatura covers about 485 hectares of primary cloud forest. Its most popular feature is a roughly 3 km suspension-bridge trail, with eight bridges up to about 170 metres long and as high as 50 metres above the ground, letting you see epiphytic orchids and bromeliads up close at canopy level. There are 13 zip-lines covering about 3 km in total, and the last one offers an optional Tarzan swing. The park also has a hummingbird garden, a butterfly garden and an insect house. The bridge ticket is about USD 45 and the zip-line ticket about USD 70, and a combination ticket is better value. Opening hours are about 07:30 to 16:00, and hotel transfers must be booked in advance.
