“Truly Organic Experience”… Batey Zipline Adventure

admin — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 00:29:16 +0000

Having also experienced one of the zipline tours offered in Puerto Rico (San Salva.dore Rainforest), I can honestly say that Batey Zipline Adventure was well worth the drive from Loiza. The tour includes an organic meal which was very tasteful and filling. Hiking through the rainforest offered some amazing views and the caves and caverns were beautiful. Jorge was very knowledgeable throughout the tour and I felt reassured with the safety in the rappelling, canoeing and the numerous ziplines. Speaking of which, I wasn’t expecting to zipline as much as we did but the extra rides added to the fun because each one was an adrenaline boost. After I overcame my initial fear, rappelling down the cliff was amazing. Canoeing through the caves was a relaxing way to end the tour and drinking spring water straight from the stream was an added bonus.

This tour has many opportunities for GREAT pictures so don’t forget your camera. I would upload some but I forgot my camera and my friend’s batteries died in hers.

Even if you are visiting the San Juan area, Batey Zipline Adventure should be on your list of things to do. Visitors of the west coast have no excuse.

What Does “ECO” Tours Mean?

admin — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 00:29:00 +0000

Ecotourism is the responsible outdoor activitiy that reconnects a human being with the natural world. Batey Zipline

Ko-Ki-Koo-Ki...

Adventure takes place in remotes areas of the central limestone Tropical Forest of Puerto Rico where natural settings are abundant and relatively undisturbed. Our Ecotours and daily practices promote a minimal impact on the environment and encourage the involvement with adjacent communities. Only locals are our guides and the ones who have work on the development of our course. A very important part of our tours is the interpretation of cultural, historical and ecological facts for the benefit of all our visitors, including social projects, school and universities students (and teachers).

That’s the M.E.T.A. (GOAL) of Batey Zipline Adventure:

-Minimal impact on the environment,

-Educational experience on natural and cultural heritage,

-Tourism that doesn’t disturb the natural settings,

-Active involvement with local communities.

BZA is also a proud supporter of many community groups and provides a wide variety of local employment opportunities.
