The Tram is conveniently located just outside the beach town
of Jacó. There are signs along the entire route, and
the main billboard is located 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) before
the entrance. At the first entrance to Jacó, where
the El Faro Restaurant is, continue three blocks along the
main highway until you see a sign for our park on the left-hand
side. From there it’s 1.2 miles (3 kilometers) north,
along the road known as Piedra Bruja

To make your visit to the Pacific Rain Forest Aerial Tram
even more comfortable, we offer a coffee shop selling cold
