Today we went on the canopy tour near the arenal volcano. We went on  a piece of property that was close to the arenal volcano but not too close! the tour was equipped with 11 cables and platforms that stretch between trees and canyons and extend over 2 kilometers in length. We got the chance to immerse ourselves in nature while having an exhilarating, one-of-a-kind experience. Professional guides  fit you with high quality gear and explain the mechanics of riding the cables.

Once comfortable with this process,you will begin a high-flying ride. In total, the tour lasts around 2 hours and is capable of being enjoyed by anyone ages 8 to 70, as long as they’re in decent shape.There was no  steep hiking required. A mini bus brought us to the starting point and a farm tractor brought us back. There is no weight limit, as the harnesses and equipment are certified to carry up to 2,000 lbs (900 kilos). We found out canopy tour is certified by the I.C.T. and is fully insured, which is a good thing. We had a real good time except I was a little nervous. It turned out alright though and I really enjoyed it.  Were back at the hotel right now, we just made dinner, and we’re about to eat. I’ll write later on, but I got to go right now.
