On our final day at Monteverde, students were given the option to explore the rainforest canopy by either walking through designated bridges or racing through a zip line. I chose to partake in the zip line (one more item to check off my list of things to do before I die) and had to sign a liability contract to participate. After my fellow peers and I were harnessed, we immediately zipped through the wire courses, feeling the wind violently brushing against our cheeks! 🌳
We also had the opportunity to join in on the “Tarzan Swing.” It was more mentally nerve-racking than the zip lines because I had to fall straight down (I hate the “free fall / stomach-in-my-throat” feeling!) before swinging on the harnessed vine. I can still remember yelling “OHHH MYYY GODDD!!!” at the top of my lungs upon the immediate, plunging descent! Indeed, the adrenaline-seeking activities (surprisingly vomit-free) were a great way to end our stay at Monteverde. 💨
yes! zip lines are awesome! you should post pictures of this zipline! :) btw can i just say how awesome it is that you have your next two summers planned out too? how do you already know where you're going? bryan..you're amazing! and that free falling feeling thing? i totalllyy know what you're saying! hateee that feeling! but it sounds like you had a GREAT time! the closest thing to that on my korea trip was a 77 degree inclination in a roller coaster we rode :P
