Fun Activities to do in a Rainforest

The most northerly rainforests are bound in Mexico. Having a good climate as it receives the most amount of rainfall in a year makes it a perfect location for dwelling of different species. In addition to this is Mexico’s location between North and South America that makes it an important site of migration of several animal species. All these characteristics crowned Mexico rainforests as one of the most suited sites for outdoor activities to those who find adventures up close with nature.

Here we have listed ‘must do’ activities once you reach rainforests of Mexico.

ZIPLINE AND CANOPY TOURS

For most travelers the best part of a forest is its canopy. And one thing’s sure, one cannot be able to fully enjoy the ambiance of a rainforest unless he is able to glide and have a trip on its canopy. Canopy refers to that part of a rainforest comprised of the top layer of trees, mostly its leaves and branches. Canopy tours involve climbing off a tree in a jungle and gliding from one edge of the forest to another edge which is lower through suspended ropes termed as zip lines. There’s no better way of exploring a forest in its perfect view without intervening species in it than through swinging on top of it. There’s nothing to worry about safety because there are travel guides that will surely assess you all throughout.

WATER TOURS

There are rainforests in Mexico that offers boating as a primary mode of transportation, the Amazon rainforest for example. Travelling through waters provide an extremely different experience rather that wandering through land, it is more convenient and time-saving. Furthermore, boating and river cruising is a great way to experience wildlife in its natural setting, take photographs and observe a myriad of species along the riverbanks. Several cruise companies offer these kinds of services; arrangement can be done in site or beforehand.

TOURIST ACCOMODATIONS

Most common form of sleeping accommodations in Mexico rainforests are in the form of eco-lodges. Eco-lodges provide basic to first class accommodations but still in contact with nature. Some provide tourist guides which will help you plan your next trip in the region. Surely, there’s nothing to think about in here; from camping to sleeping, everything is provided for your own satisfaction and comfort.

FOREST HIKES

Of course, your trip to Mexico rainforest will never be complete without getting up close and personal with creatures in their natural habitat. There are a number of forest reserves and national parks which offer guided hikes as you get in touch with Mexico’s flora and fauna. Not just biodiversity, but these parks give you modern facility accommodations that will definitely make your excursion an experience of a lifetime.

  1. Oh my gosh! This sounds like a great time. When we were in Mexico we went to an adventure park. We thought it was going to be something like zip lining through the jungle. But we were wrong, it was literally a park on the side of the ocean. It was nice, just nothing that we really wanted to do. However, once we got back from vacation we found that a place near us has canopy tours and we don't even have to be on vacation to go on them! Thanks so much for this great list. I'll have to plan another trip to Mexico!
