Zip lining - nature trial @ Mombacho

[gatita loca]

Is it really worth the $51 per person to do the nature trail-canopy tour?  From the Moon guide, the nature walk leaves Granada at 10am.  Do you walk then zip or vice versa?  I'm wondering because the little birds are most active in the early morning and by 10 am they are long gone.

Hey, I did the zip line in 2007.  When you picture it in your mind, you're going to be up there with birds and monkeys and it's going to be nature up close and fun.  Well, it is fun.  But no matter what time of day you go, you're not going to be up there making noise on a zip line and also be close to wild animals.  I saw some semi-tame howler monkeys at the coffee plantation when we geared up, but other than that you probably won't see much wildlife.  But I enjoyed the zip, my tour guides, the coffee, and the setting.  It was worth it to me.

I am talking about the Mombotours canopy tour. Is there a better option?

[Joshua Berman]

That's the one to the Cutirre coffee farm -- excellent. The other one is on the way to the park at the top. Also excellent. You can't go wrong -- have fun.

I know about Mombotours.  What is the name of the other zip line tour on Mombacho?
