Canopy tours are all the fuss in Monteverde, and also the reason we’re here. This is where zip-lining all started – “flying” across the forest canopy as you hang from a zip line in a safety harness. I first heard of this activity from a colleague who visited Costa Rica a year ago but never imagined it to be such a unique way of experiencing the forest – I mean how else would you be able to feel like a bird on speed as you whiz through trees?
It turned out zip-lining was not the only way of having forest fun. The parks here have come up with crazy things like “Tarzan” and “Superman”. Yes, tarzan I could picture but what the hell was superman? I was shown a picture of someone hanging from a zip-line, face down toward earth and arms stretched out just like the superhero. It was the ultimate way of “flying”…
…and holy moly was it insane! We flew along an 800m stretch of wire, with feet and hands in free air, flying high above the canopy. It was a day of monkey business at the park, zooming from tree to tree. The exhilaration more than made up for the bumpy roads and being dropped off in the middle of nowhere to get here. Awesome!
