THE ROUTE

Seven long ziplines — distance and speed

The circuit includes seven tirolesas ranging from 477 m to 1,113 m in length, totaling nearly five kilometers of line. Riders can expect heights of 350 m or greater and speeds that vary with weight and wind, reported between 60 and 110 km/h.

THE FINISH

A final leap and cable‑car return

The route culminates with a roughly 700‑meter jump that arrives at the Mesa de Bacajipare (Estación “B”); the return to the starting area is by teleférico, and admission for the cable car is included in the activity.

THE INFRASTRUCTURE

Bridges, a short hike and staging

The circuit also includes two hanging bridges (about 138 m and 123 m) and an approximate 600‑meter walk between elements. Guides may pair participants on lines when conditions warrant to ensure safety in strong winds.
