Day 6

Today was an adventure day. After breakfast at our hotel, we drove to Selvatura for some ziplining. But before we left, here was this morning's sunrise over the Pacific Ocean.


Zip lining was a fun time. We had several first-timers, and a few that have zip lined before. The course consisted of 13 different lines, each differing in length and scenery. What each line had in common is a thrilling ride above the canopy of the cloud forest.







After zip lining, it was time for lunch together.


In the afternoon, we went to another cloud forest for some wildlife observation and hiking. Here we are listening to a brief lecture about the reserved forests in Costa Rica, which makes up 24% of the country.


After this, we hiked. And hiked and hiked. There are beautiful trails, but difficult terrain to cross. A lot of our hiking required teamwork.




After one long hike, we took a second to reach a bridge we had seen from the air during ziplining. It was worth the trip, since we walked up at the forest canopy. Quite a view.


After a long day of walking, we went into town for some free time, then had dinner together. According to Nicole, our official records keeper, we made 14,044 steps today!

Beach day at Tortuga Island tomorrow!

¡Pura vida!
