Who We Are

Victor Gallo Palomo graduated in wildlife biology from Colorado State University. He pioneered sea kayaking in Costa Rica in 1987, paddled the complete pacific coast from north to south, opened the first and foremost bungee jumping operation in Latin America; Tropical Bungee, developed rock climbing at a higher level and was the first to introduce professional climbing equipment to Costa Rica through Centro de Adventura another one of his creations. Victor opened the first climbing gym in the country and has judged the X-Games Marlboro Adventure Team and the Camel Whitewater Challenge. Victor has also promoted and organized competitions in rafting surf kayaking, rock climbing and paragliding and of course has rigged cable systems for stunts in movies, theatre and sports events.

Founder Victor Gallo Palomo

Our Services Canopy Tour Construction & Zip Line Construction

A Zip line Tour is made up of several Zip lines, which are installed close to the Ground or a tower and extend across canyons, ravines or valleys. Man-made structures or the bases of trees provide the support and anchor points. Zip line tours will normally have longer traverses due to the fact that structures that are built on the ground will handle higher cable tension.

A Canopy Tour is made up of Zip lines, Hanging Bridges, Rappel stations, and giant swings installed on or near the Canopy of the trees. The height on the trees allows for clearance from the ground as well as an opportunity to be up and close to the rich vegetation from the suspended platforms at each tree.

Our Services Challenge Course Construction

Our Services Hanging Bridges & Access Bridges

Aerial Bridges – Bridges provide the easiest access to the treetops.  They will complement any canopy tour to create diversity and will enhance the experience. We maintain a pristine look to all our bridges in order to reduce weight on the trees and provide a natural feel with the environment.Access Bridges – Access bridges require engineering plans and  are designed with solid structures on both ends in order to comply with the needs for higher volume pedestrian crossing.  Bridges are custom designed according to the client’s needs, potential loads and terrain conditions.  Normally a geotechnical study is needed to determine ground stability and conditions.

EcoTramEcotram is the first self -driven cable car that carries visitors on the ultimate aerial journey to explore diverse settings. It is eclectically driven and can accommodate everyone, including seniors and most alternately abled persons. Ecotram LLC estimates that about half of the worldwide nature/ecotourism market is not served by cableways. This means millions of potential customers are waiting for an aeral adventure that allows an effortless nature experience.

Zip-Lines and “ski-lifts” suffer a major shortcoming – they can’t stop. Indeed, zip-lines are so fast that the scenery is a blur. Both wildlife and nature lovers often choose to avoid noise generated by zip lines. Ski-lifts are massive (as well as expensive) and they can’t go where the action is. Visitors wan tto be able to stop so they can watch and photograph undisturbed wildlife. As the only system able to satisfy these desires, EcoTram taps a huge sleeping market.

Our Services Tree Houses

Humans have the innate ability to climb.  Our phalanges are made to grab holds and naturally climb, but since we were children it has been a restriction put upon us not to go up things from the fear of falling.  The Korowai of Indonesia not only climb but live on the treetops in the jungle.  Tree houses are the most basic form of arboreal living.  The natural support that trees provide open our minds to the most creative ways to fit a dwelling. We build custom tree houses in diverse environments and  tree species.  Size and materials depend mostly on tree strength and its branch structure.

Our Services Retrofitting

If your course is outdated and not up to standards, we provide the knowledge and creativeness to bring your course up to par.  Are your trees getting strangled by old cables and blocks?  We can save your trees by placing appropriate hardware and anchoring systems.  Are your platforms crooked?  We can reconstruct from the top down any course which is either old or was not built in accordance to safety standards.
