Day 3
Here in the National Park, cables have been strung between tall trees up to 80
meters in length and 100 meters above the forest floor. If you are afraid of
heights this is not for you. You are put into a harness, given a helmet and a
safety briefing. We are then driven in a van about 5 minutes to the starting
point. Here another safety briefing is given along with what to do. The two guides
will do
everything for you. They will hook the pulley and safety cable up to the suspended
cable. They show you where to hold on and off you go.
The first one was kind of scary but after that the next 13 runs were lots of
fun. At one point we had to repel from a higher stand to one a little lower in
the same tree then cross a swing bridge to another tree. At the end we repel
down to the ground. we then have lunch walk through the forest to a waterfalls then return to to the village home stay.
