Ziplining in Puerto Rico: Here's Where Toro Verde is Located

What is it?

Toro Verde Adventure Park is...well...an adventure park. It has several rides and attractions that feature adventuring over (and through) the forest. They offer several different packages and options for ziplining in Puerto Rico, so let's discuss some of the things to do here. GoPro rentals, merch, and other pieces of memorabilia are available in the gift shop inside.

Let's start by talking about the longest zipline in the United States, followed by what happens once you finish it.

Yep, you read that right.

The Longest Zipline in the United States: El Monstruo

In case you didn't know, the Toro Verde Adventure Park is home to El Monstruo (The Monster), which happens to be the longest zipline in the United States. It used to hold the world record title for bring the longest zipline in the world, but Jebel Jais Flight in the United Arab Emirates currently holds the number one spot for the longest zipline in the world.

ZipRider in Mexico takes the number two spot.

Anyways, El Monstruo is an 8,300 foot-long zipline where you reach speeds of up to 95 miles per hour. That's 1.57 miles, or about 28 football fields.

Unlike traditional ziplines where the rider sits down and holds onto a rope while flying down, on this zipline you will be lying down completely flat, with your hands behind your back.

Requirements

• The height requirement for this zipline is 4 feet

• The weight requirements are between 100 pounds and 270 pounds

• Closed-toed shoes are required, and you are not allowed to have any hanging threads or objects, including having objects in your hand

• In order to fly at over 1,200 feet of altitude, you are expected to make a reservation and arrive at least a half hour prior to your reservation time.

Personally, upon my arrival was reservation time didn't seem to matter. Likely due to COVID-19 heavily impacting tourism on the island in general, there weren't any lines or wait times at all.

Price

Currently, the price for this ride alone is $99.99. This may seem pricey at first, but considering the value of the experience you're getting, it's 100% worth it. There are other rides and packages that you can go on, and there are combination rides to get lower prices. Let's take a look at other options at the best place for ziplining in Puerto Rico:

The Beast

If The Monster scares you a little bit too much, The Beast is the next best thing. At a length of 4,745 feet, you can reach speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. You need to be lying down for this one, too.
