May 26-27 - Monteverde, Costa Rica

view from the hostel

Saturday morning I took a shuttle to Monteverde. It was a really pretty drive but by the end the road became really rough. I was dropped off at my hostel around 2 pm and met the two other people staying in my room. They told me about the zip line that they had done that day, and I decided to book it for the next morning. The rest of the day was spent doing laundry and answering emails.
The next morning I got up early to go do the zipline. The group we were with ended up being really big but they sort of split the group up so it wasn't so bad. There were about 10 or 12 different zipllines. The first couple were kinda just warmup runs and weren't scary or fast at all. The 4th one was over a huge valley and had a pretty amazing view. There was also a tarzan swing before the last three big ziplines which was really scary. The last zipline was 2800 meters long and they hooked us up superman style so we got an awesome view of the jungle/land below.
I returned back to my hostel around noon, had lunch and caught a shuttle off to La Fortuna.
