Our latest adventure brought us to the Adventure Park Canopy Tour. This is a great park with a ton of different activities, but we chose the Zip-Line tour over 11 waterfalls. It includes 25 separate cable runs over some spectacular scenery, 2 cable-assisted rappels, lunch, plus you start the day with a 45 minute horseback ride up the mountain to start of the tour. In the middle of the tour we stopped for a half an hour or so so we could swim in a pool at the bottom of a waterfall. A great day.
As usual, we tagged along with the Gonzo’s in Costa Rica clan (check out their blog here), some of their friends from the states who were here visiting for the Christmas holidays, and a few other tourists. In all I’d say about 25 of us.
By far the best line of the day goes to Patsy, (who is a Mexican-American). At the top of one the cables the guide was explaining that you needed to keep your feet up high and lay flat as you passed over the top of the waterfall or you’d get a wet back. Patsy instantly shot back “who you calling a wetback?”. I cracked up.
Both of our kids said that this was the favourite adventure so far. They were both a little nervous at first, but they both overcame their fears and started to really enjoy it. I was quite proud of them.
Here’s some pics & videos.
