Zipy Ride –
This was one of the highlights of our time in Monteverde. The guides explained the safety procedures clearly and kept the group organized from one platform to the next. The longer cables were an incredible rush, especially the final stretch across the cloud forest, and the scenery was spectacular. There is some uphill walking between sections, so closed shoes and comfortable clothes are important. The Tarzan Swing was optional, but I am glad I tried it.
