No, El Tigre Waterfalls is a self-guided hike with clear maps and signage. Guides are optional if you want to learn more about the forest and wildlife.

El Tigre Waterfalls is usually less crowded than the main Monteverde reserves. Peak holiday seasons can bring more visitors, but trails remain more tranquil.

Yes, swimming is allowed in the river pools, not directly under the waterfalls, for safety reasons.

Zipline Bike: A Whole New Way to Experience the Cloud Forest 🚴‍♂️🌿

Looking for a unique adventure in Monteverde? Our Zipline Bike lets you conquer the cables — not by flying, but by cycling high above the forest canopy!

Ride across 3 cables ranging from 100–150 meters in length.
Suspended up to 70 meters above the ground, surrounded by breathtaking views of the cloud forest.
Perfect if you want adrenaline without doing the full 8 km hike.

How It Works

We’ll take you to the starting point in our 4x4 safari vehicles, followed by a short 300-meter hike with steps and a small (non-deep) water crossing. Then, get ready to pedal across the sky!

⚠️ Note: This option does not include waterfall views. If you’d like to combine both experiences, you can add the Zipline Bike to your Big Hike or Full Package at the reception.
