Zip-e-de-do-da- zip-e-de-day!




Today we began the day at La Selva which took us through the tropical rain forest and allowed us to view nature at its best. We saw the red and blue frogs in every part, tucans, woodpeckers, tent bats, bullet ants, and more. The forest was beautiful and very humid.









After La Selva we returned to the hotel allowing a quick walk to local bakery for Costa Rican pastries. Lunch was rather delicious, fish or pork, rice, chips, plantains, the works.









At two in the afternoon, we began our journey to the canopy tour. First we were fitted for harnesses, helmets, and gloves, a rather personal experience. Then we boarded a tractor for a slow ride to our zip line stations. Everyone in the group eagerly and enthusiastically zipped throught the nine lines.








Finally to end the wonderful day, we walked to a local fiesta and experienced the Latin culture first hand.
