Canopy Tour


On Thursday, my mom and I decided to go on a canopy tour, which is also known as  zip lining. Monteverde has the best zip lining in all of Costa Rica and there are many different canopy tours from which to choose. We chose one called Selvatura and it was totally awesome as it is the only zip line in Costa Rica that lets you fly through the canopy of the Cloud Forest. It probably has the longest zip lines in Costa Rica as well and by the time we were ready to get started, my mom was shakin' in her boots! There were thirteen different lines and one was more than a kilometer long! On that one line I felt like a bird flying through and above the Cloud Forest and it gave me a feeling of pure adrenaline as I whooped and screamed the entire way. They also had a Tarzan swing which I loved. It was a bit windy that day and the gusts either sped you up or slowed you down so it was important not to brake to early or else you would be stuck in the middle; my mom's biggest fear. But, despite my mom's fear of heights she had a great time flying through the canopy and I did as well.

En Jueves mi mama y yo decidimos ir a una gira del dosel o tirolesando. Monteverde tiene el mejor tirolesando en toda de Costa Rica y hay muchas giras diferentes del dosel para eligir. Eligimos un que se llama Selvatura y fue totalmente impresionante porque es el solo tirolesa en Costa Rica que le permite a aviar a traves del dosel de la Selva de Nublados. Probablemente tiene las tirolesas mas largas en Costa Rica y tambien y cuando estabamos listos para empezar, mi mama temia mucho miedo. Fue trece lineas diferentes y uno fue mas de un kilometro en medido. En este linea, me senti como un pajaro aviando a traves de la Selva de Nublados y me dio un emocion de adrenalino puro y yo grite mucho. Tambien tienen un Tarzan swing y me encanta esta. Hubo un poco de viento este dia y el viento me hizo ir mas rapido o me hizo ir mas lente y por eso, era muy importante para no freno mas temprano o seria atascado en el medio de la linea; el miedo mas mejor de mi mama. Pero, a pesar de el miedo de las altitudas de mi mama, ella tenia un tiempo muy bueno aviando a traves de los arboles y a mi tambien.

  1. Your vivid descriptions make the reader feel the power of your experiences. You're a natural writer, Landon. I love it! Flying throught the clouds....unbelievable. You also have a fearlessness that is enviable. Mom is a real trouper. Zipping along airborne way above the ground is NOT an easy thing for a person who isn't crazy about heights. Bravo to you both. In my next life..........<3 Nanny
