In this article see pictures of Costa Rica's rainforest and one of Costa Rica's main tourist attractions - the aerial tram. The aerial tram is the only way of seeing the canopy or top part of the rainforest from a close distance. If you go to Costa Rica you must ride this aerial tram. It is a fascinating experience.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
