Everything about the aerial tram was wonderful, but don't take their bus! Or if you do, get off of it at the first stop in San Hose and take a cab for $3. Otherwise you'll be stuck on a bus circling the suburbs of San Hose in heavy traffic for 2 1/2 hours after you've already gotten to town. But the best thing to do is to hire your own cab (your hotel will arrange it for you if you don't speak spanish) which barely costs any more, in fact it will cost less if there are 3 or more of you. You arrange a time for the cab driver to pick you up in advance, and he'll be there. (I didn't see a single female cab driver.) The trams run all day, from 6am to 4pm. Each tram holds 5 or 6 people, one of whom is a guide. The guides are knowledgable and really like the rainforest. While you are there you can ride the tram several times, or take a walk on one of their paths. The weather there changed all the time; cloudy to sunny, wet to dry, 68 to 82.
Both the tram and the grounds are handicapped accessible, although it would probably be best to call ahead if you can't transfer to their seat because they may have to remove one. Then again that may not work unless someone is fluent in Spanish - most of the people there who spoke some english were lost once you got out of their area, with some unexpected results. One of the strolling paths through the jungle is concrete, in good condition, although there are a few steep spots. The first photo was taken on this path. I wish I'd had my electric chair, but they said it wouldn't fit on the bus.
On our second trip we hired a taxi driver, who loaded the electric chair on his Toyota van just fine, with sme help....MORE TO FOLLOW SOON!
