A thrilling ride through Costa Rica's lush forest canopy!  We had a moderate 20-minute uphill hike followed by a safety talk at the departure point. We were then strapped inot a harness and wearing thick leather gloves, then walk to a platform at the first of ten trees where the instructor sends you off on the ride of your life!  Whizzing from tree to tree on a zip-line, you experience the thrill of flight while being safely suuspended.  All around you, the scenery comes to life as you enjoy the panoramic views of the uppermost layers of the forest. For us the wind was between 60-80 miles an hour!  Very frighting!  But would not have missed it for anything! It was the highlight of my trip!
