The wind carries the scent of thyme and pine as you navigate through a protected mountain and ravine environment.

The experience Over 3 to 4 hours, you’ll climb equipped sections with life-line cables, cross a suspended monkey bridge 50 meters above ground offering panoramic views, and glide down two zip lines—one 40 meters long and another requiring paddling to move forward.
