We did the zip line as part of a 6 day tour to the jungle and pampas. The company has an office in Rurrenabaque and a canoe to take you the 15 minutes up river to where the zip line is situated. You then hike up for 45 minutes to an hour (they provide water) so go early or late if you can!The equipment is all very safe and well-maintained. Our guides, Roberto and Alejandro, gave us a thorough safety talk about how to use the equipment.The lines themselves are great. After the first short one to get you used to it you get a mix of slow lines to look at the views and some fantastic fast lines! The views of the jungle and Beni river from the platforms are also spectacular.The zip lines are owned by a community so this is a fantastic project to support!

Great experience! You take a short boat ride upstream, hike in about 40 minutes and then do 8 lines, some fast some slow. The first is an easy short one to give you a sense of how it works if you've never ziplined before. Beautiful views of the canopy and the Beni river while you're waiting for your fellow zipliners. Guides are knowledgeable and very friendly, giving some information on jungle plants during the hike. Equipment is all in good condition and safely operated.

Great! If you want the best views, adrenaline, action, adventure.... This is the place u must go.This is a mini villa at 15 min in boat of rurrenabaque, then walk for 1 hour in an incredible road full of vegetation. The canopy has 9 bases and i felt really secure in each trail, they have 6 years of experience and non accidents.I believe this was a great experience.The prize , 250 bs, its ok.

This agency is run by a local Tanaka community of 20 families and organise canopy tours on steel cables trough there huge territory next to the madidi national parc.Me and my girlfriend went there by the advice of a friend running a travel agency and were very surprised by the quality and the beauty of this tour.We had two very friendly and professionnal guides for us two for this 4h tour starting at 8am.First we took a boat to the community site located 15mn from rurre, this is a jungle place surronded by montains and the rio Beni, then you walk for 1h in a beautifull trail trough the jungle were we saw monkeys and tucans and had good informatins on trees medicinal plants,and local life, a little ing to the top of a small hill and there things serious start !They have 9 platform on the top of huge jungle trees and 1200m of steel cable.All the installation has been remade in 2011 and all seem very safe and profesionnal (altough I'm not specialist).The equipement look also very safe and you have a small training and explanations by the guide before starting.The trip was awsome, you get a lot of speed and adrenaline in those huge cables and you have an amazing vue on the canopy with some birds and also in tje begining on the river an montains, at the end you are more riding inside the forest wich is also amazing, we had so mutch fun!My girlfriend was very scared and she made it in tandem with one guide and felt very safe.To summerize it was one of our best ,funniest and most original experience in all dangerous things we did in bolivia.First we thaugh it was too expensive(250bs) but considering the hugeness and quality of the installation and service it is realy worth (and you can low the price a little bit).

Comme mentionné avant moi, l'agence est une agence tenue par une communauté locale.C'est plusieurs familles qui se sont regroupées pour proposer différentes excursions:- 1/2 à 1 journée pour le canopy (zipline)- 2 jours : canopy + tour dans la jungle et nuit en cabanes- 3 jours et plus...Le canopy (zipline) est une expérience vraiment super.La vue est magnifique!Les sensations sont excellentes.Les équipements et l'encadrement sont professionnels et sûrs.Il y'a 9 tyroliennes. Nous avons visité la communauté qui a subi une très grosse inondation en janvier et qui y a beaucoup perdu.Ils ont été extrêmement accueillants.Nous avons marché en forêt. Nous avons beaucoup appris sur les plantes, les animaux et la région.Nous avons dormi dans des cabanes GRAND LUXE construites par les hommes de la communauté dans la jungle (20min de la communauté).Les cabanes sont des chambres doubles équipées de moustiquaires aux ouvertures et au dessus des lits. Chaque cabane a une salle de bain privée avec WC et douche!Savon et serviette fournie.Le tout construit avec des matériaux de la forêt.En résumer: une expérience inoubliable et un tourisme qui profite directement aux locaux.Notre guide s'appelait Francisco.Il a été PARFAIT! Sa famille était très accueillante et touchante: merci à lui et à eux.
