Last weekend I tagged along with a group of students going on a field trip for a class that I'm not in. I couldn't really resist going because the trip was an overnight opportunity to explore a cloud forest about four hours away from Heredia. The highlight of the trip was a zip lining canopy tour that we went on the first day. The tour consisted of 13 lines of various lengths through and over the rainforest, interspersed with hiking between the different platforms.
All ready to go!
Lauren took two pictures of me. After the first one she said, "wait I need to take another one" so I stood there while she did. After looking at the photos, I realized that the reason she wanted to take another was so that Cameron could stand behind me and make that face. Very smooth, you two.
Yeah... I don't know...
Climbing up to the first platform - it was quite high up in the canopy.
Glamor shot! I still can't get over Jackie's sweatshirt...
Every platform had a sign telling you how high and how long the ride would be.
The track formed essentially a tunnel through the otherwise impenetrable density of the forest.
It reminds me of the Secret Garden
Bombs away!
This was the longest track on the tour. You can't even see the end in this picture.
It was so long that we had to ride it in tandem two at a time in order to be heavy enough to make it all the way in. Even so, Abby and I got stuck about a quarter mile from the end and had to be towed in.
That's right, we defeated that canopy!
