The Cables, our exciting zip line tours
The Cables are two zip line circuits (X-Tremos and Ultras). One crosses the valley of San Buenaventura, the other reaches the tip of the bay with Lake Atitlan and its volcanoes as a backdrop. Many experiences in one. Many experiences in one ride.
Each cable is a different experience: some are up to 60 meters high, others have magnificent views of forests, waterfalls, volcanoes and the lake itself. At the end of each circuit there is an optional low ropes course.

Safety First
Given that this is an extreme activity, the Cables X-Tremos are remarkably safe. Our guides are conscientiously trained and all our equipment (harnesses, carabineers, slings, trolleys, etc.) has US and European certification. The design and construction of the zip trek followed international standards for safety and has been tested with loads that provide wide margins of safety.
We have a trial cable where you can try your brakes.
Tours leave at 9:00 am, 11:00 am, 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm.
