Ziplines!

 

After exploring Arenal Paraiso a bit we went to the ziplines. Before we got suited up in our gear we had to sign a waiver and give blood type information, just in case ( Dun Dun Dun! ). After we got all our gear on we took a group picture (below), just for a head count, before we braved the ziplines. After one of the guides gave a short demonstration and instructions we were on our way.

 At Arenal Paraíso there were 12 platforms with 11 lines totaling over 1000ft of cables. We soared an average of 250 feet over the Arenal River Canyon and crossed the Arenal River.  There were many beautiful sites including a waterfall!  Waiting for us at the bottom was a tractor with water to take us back.
