4 Best Ziplines in the World

Posted on by eliseo

Author’s Note: A newer 2017 version, including the top 11 ziplines in the world, that features pictures, videos, trip advisor reviews, and google map location is available here.

Have you ever thought about trying a zipline?

Maybe you’ve had the opportunity but passed it by. Perhaps at the time, you were too apprehensive about the height and/or speed at which the zipline travels.(If this applies to you read our “How to Zipline with Fear of Heights” article) Completely understandable.

Ziplines allow humans to do things we shouldn’t be able to.

Humans, while intelligent and logical, are slow—in comparison to others in the animal kingdom—and bound to the ground.
Humans are not supposed to travel at blisteringly fast speeds. And we’re definitely not supposed to fly!

And yet…as we often do, we have overridden our physical limitations by using our intellectual gifts. These gifts have led us to build the zipline!

What has the zipline done for humanity?

Give humans the license to disregard millions of years of evolution, and fly above the ground at cheek-shaking speeds!

Sorry natural selection; you’re no match for human ingenuity.

Starting to regret not ziplining yet? Don’t worry. You’ll have many more chances.

In fact, you’ve stumbled on just the perfect guide for finding the 4 best ziplines in the world.
