Just like the other reviews, I can't imagine a better canopy tour than Los Veranos. The guides definitely made the tour better. They had funny jokes and made you feel totally comfortable. My only regret was not bringing a camera. We didn't want to buy their pictures or dvd, so we don't have any pictures to remember the experience. If you bring a camera, I'd just make sure that you have a pocket with zippers. I'd be worried so high up with my digital camera in my pocket. After the tour you can go in the monkey cages and feed them (free!). The only thing that we didn't like about the tour is after you zipline, you can eat at the restaurant or swim. We booked the 9:00 tour so that we still had the day ahead of us at our resort, but when the tour was over at 11:00 we were ready to go only to find out that the shuttle doesn't leave until 12:20. Which wasn't bad, but we were disappointed that we couldn't leave.

Hint: bring $ for tips. You'll find out that everywhere in Mexico asks for tips.
If you get picked up on the shuttle from Le Kliff, make sure to call the day ahead. We didn't and the shuttle passed us. We had to catch a bus back to our resort and our concierge called the tour. They were great and paid for a taxi to take us there. We were just intime and didn't miss our 9:00 tour since it takes time to get you ready. We didn't start the tour until 10:00.

FANTASTIC! A great high intensity family adventure. However, make sure you wear really old clothing! You will get incredibly dirty from a mix of mud, gear oil and the zip line coils. No amount of soaking or laundry detergent will clean it. Just throw the clothes away after your tour.

The dirt literally covered our entire face, shirts and shorts. One of the people on the tour said, "you look like someone from the horror movie 'The Ring'" because our faces were streaked with dirt and our hair was matted from the canopy drizzle.

If you are really lucky an expert guide will ride with you and allow you to zip line backward, upside down no-handed! Buy the video, it is worth it!

We also got to have the tarantulas crawl on our face! (That was by choice :)

We had to wait for our last day to do this tour due to the weather, but we are so glad we tried it! At 8:45 on the dot, (9 am tour) we loaded on the bus for the drive into the back country--this is a great way to see south of town if you hadn't before. All the drivers, guides and help were funny and all acted like they were having a great time--The only thing is you need to be in shape because there are LOTS of steps up as you climb higher up the mountain. The platforms are not connected, you need to get to each one--I have asthma and it was a little hard--I knew we would end up at a restaurant with swimming and thought it might be a little hokey but--we loved it! The restaurant over the boulders was so peaceful and lovely. There were the animals and spiders to look at or you could just catch the next bus back to town. I HIGHLY reccommend this tour!!

I can't say enough about how much fun we had on this trip. It was a last minute decision, and the person I was traveling with was very apprehensive about the whole thing - bugs, safety, equipment, physical difficulty, management reliability, language barrier, bus ride... every one of those fears was subsided pretty much immediately. We had such a blast. This particular course has a large number of zip lines, many going over the water, with the biggest being about 550 feet high and a quarter mile long. The course probably takes about an hour to complete. The staff is hilarious and you can tell that they love their job, which made it that much more fun. We checked into a number of different companies before booking, and like another reviewer said, we are glad we went with Canopy Los Veranos because I can't imagine that it is possible for another to be any better. For those traveling from the US, it may make you feel a little bit better (it did for us) to know that the company is American-owned, or at least this is what the activities person at the hotel told us.

This is a fun adventure for people of all ages - I think what surprised me the most was the diversity of the group we were with, including a few senior citizens, who were able to actively participate without problems. Don't get me wrong, there is a physical aspect, particularly hiking up stairs in the woods with equipment to get to the first few platforms. However, it is definitely doable.

A few people mentioned the bus ride - we thought it was fine. From downtown, the ride is under an hour and did not seem too rough to me. However, we waited at the base a looooong time for our bus to leave - if you are not planning on swimming or having lunch at the site, I would recommend going straight to the area where the buses pick up and try to get a spot with an earlier group. If you do have time to kill waiting for the bus, go check out the animal exhibit - although it creeped me out a bit at first, it was actually very cool and I'm glad I did it. They let you go into the monkey cage with a little bit of food and the little guys will come right up and jump onto your arm. They're SO adorable and harmless!

HINT: On the very first zip line, they take a picture of you which can be purchased at the end for $10. This is reasonable, but you can safely and easily take your camera with you on the course (either a neck strap or shorts with pockets are fine - the leg harness will help keep it in your pocket) and take pictures along the way. My friend and I did this and after taking tons of great shots from the platform of each other on the zip line, decided we did not need to purchase the photo. There is also a staff member with a video camera and you can purchase a DVD at the end for $40.
