Santa Elena Ziplines

Just plain fun! 13 different zip lines strung through the rainforest. Varying lengths and heighths. Beautiful views. Oregon-esque but tropical. Beginning with a shorter line to get people comfortable, and culminating in a kilometer long tandem ride, soaring over the treetops. Getting up to what felt like 70 but was actually 30 mph.
Quite a few people were quite fearful, and it appeared that those people did not have as much fun, feeling that this was something to endure rather than enjoy. To say that they had done it. We had a blast! The very last part was a Tarzan Swing. You climbed the tower, they clipped you into the harness, opened the gate and you stepped off the platform. Smallish drop before you began to swing high to the tops of the canopy. Swinging back and forth, like a wonderful big pendulum. It is an interesting and quick mental transition from ¨I´m falling¨ to ¨Whee- this is fun!
