We splurged and had a blast for our first canopy tour. There were just 5 of us, so it was fast and fun. The guides were professional and friendly. Just a great time. Afterwards we went to the local market and ate amazing chix soup, grilled chicken, bread and rice. Yummy! More

This is a great experience for all ages. From my four year old son to my 70 year old father, we had a great experience. The zip lines start out short and easy so everyone gets accustomed to braking and sitting correctly. Then they go over huge valleys with gorgeous views of the mountains. For kids, a personal guide is... More

It's a pretty commercialized tour. They have fourteen zip lines, which is good, but the tour is over before you know it, as they zip you along from line to line. There is no stopping mid-line to snap photos or enjoy the breeze. There are some really high and really long lines, and it was fun to ride those, but... More

My girlfriend and I did this with a tour we booked, we went on a Tuesday, and we owned the place, we were the only two people there for the zip line. The cost was very cheap, $10, and there was some really fun lines. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to have some fun in El Salvador. More

We had taken a tour from san salvador(nahurut tours). What turned out to seem expensive initially certainly didn't disappoint us.Had lots of fun in the apenaca canopy zip lines.It was adventurous,fun and refreshing all at the same time. Also on the way make sure to visit some colonial cities where you can still find a lot of colorful life. It... More

15? zip lines - they start out a little easy and then get some great height and distances. The tree top exchange was my favorite. We took 10 accomplished travelers and we all wanted to change the schedule to return for another ride!! The only downside - it ended too soon! :) I would take my kids (14 and 10)... More

What a great adventure. It was not our first zip line but our favorite so far. Beautiful views and some long zips made it really exciting. The guides were great and a few friends who were nervous loved it. Such a bargain as well. More

This tour was absolutely amazing, you will be amazed by the trees and the perfect and conserved vegetation that the terrain has. Besides the tour guides were extremely friendly since I was so afraid about throwing myself into the zipline. They understood me and tied me up to one of them which made my tour much more enjoyable than before.... More

Apaneca is a small village about an hour from San Salvador, in the Ahuachapan Department. Surprisingly, it hosts quite a lot to see and do. On the "to do" list you should definitely take the zip line "canopy tour." They have good guides who assist you at all stages and transportation from the town to the starting point and return....

I booked the tour while visiting my family and as a gift to my husband who is an avid outdoorsman. I wanted him to have a close experience with Salvadorian forest and landscape. We rented a car during our stay in El Salvador and my hubby was brave enough to face the crazy city traffic, but once in the countryside,... More
