After another 1 1/2 ride into the jungle and up the mountains we arrived at the canopy place. Not as bad, but again very bad roads, one lane bridges, side of cliffs, and animals. This was a very good experience.
We zipped over twenty times along the tree canopies over the jungle, tree platform to tree platform, repelled down 80 to 100 feet a couple of times, and swung from tree to tree on a rope. The longest zip was about 300 ft. A lot of up hill walking was also involved in getting to the starting point. Good day but again we got shoaked when the rains came. Everything starts really early about 7 am cause of the 4 pm rains. Even if you finish by 4 you get wet with any evening activities.
Sloths are everywhere and so are monkeys. We have also seen jesus christ lizards (they walk on water), whistling ducks, howler monkeys, and caphucin monkeys amongest other animals I do not remember. Also now know where teak wood comes from and what the tree looks like, and what palm oil is, (used for sun tan lotion, cooking, and cosmetics). Also seen many beautiful flowers and that there is a cure for every sickness in the world in the jungle. Also saw a walking tree. Also learned other survivor things like what to eat in the jungle, like termites (taste like peanuts).
Great place to come to if you can leave the luxuries of life behind. Our room does have a/c but no TV. Almost everything is outdoors, even kitchens and bathrooms. It seeems like only bedrooms are indoors but no a/c.
It is a tropical paradise, Till next time, take care, Jorge
