We went to La Marquesa Forest Park in Guaynabo (right outside of San Juan), which was about a 30 minute drive in a bus. We had a good group of about 50 of us that came, international and exchange students.
For anyone who has never zip lined or doesn't know exactly what it is:
A zip line canopy tour allows you to sail from tree to tree and platform to platform on a network of pulleys and double horizontal cables that are mounted between 10 and 70 feet above the tropical forest floor. During your adventure, you will be wearing a harness (that attaches you to the cable system), helmet and gloves. The staff members will help you with your gear and make sure that all your gear is on properly and securely.
The zip lines at La Marquesa Forest Park were about 50ft above the ground. I was terrified! I HATE HEIGHTS!
But, you only live once and zip lining through a rainforest is not something you get to do everyday, so I did it! And it was awesome!
There were 14 different platforms that we went on and each zip line was different in length and heights. And actually at one point we had to repel from a higher platform to one below it--I screamed like a 2 yearold kid throwing tantrum probably.
All in all, I am glad I zip lined, it was really a lot of fun! Even though I was shaking terribly the entire time we did it!
