Mahogany Park - San Mateo
"Canopy Tour"

Only an hour and 20 minutes from San Jose is Mahogany Park, aptly named because of the large quantity of Mahogany trees growing on the property. This and other rare hardwood species are abundant here due to the fact that this area has been protected since the early 1900's when the landowners set most of it aside as a private reserve. At the reception area expert guides will outfit you with harnesses and other equipment. The "Canopy Tour" itself is situated in the primary jungle area only a 10 minute hike from the tourist center and consists of nine platforms and 8 traverses. The climate at Mahogany Park is very warm and usually humid. This is a tropical transition forest between the dry lowland forests of the north and the wet rain forests of the south and is therefore rich in biodiversity, both plants and animals. Shorts and t-shirts are recommended as well as a change of clothes. Tour duration approx. 3 1/2 hours.
