| Tree Climbing Our most popular experience is climbing the braided roots of the "Cathedral," a massive ficus over 200' tall. What remains is the largest jungle gym ever created! Using quality climbing gear, you climb the inside using the strong roots as hand and foot holds. At the ceiling, 90', previous climbers have left tokens of appreciation, including a Tibetan prayer bell. The ringing of this bell has become a traditional goal for fresh ascenders. Once you've attained your personal nirvana, you are belayed halfway down. From this point you swing from the inside to the outside of the tree for an eye-opening perspective. A free descent to the forest floor completes the adrenaline rush! $55/per person. Approximately 3-6 hours. Does not include taxi.
