We went zip-lining in Monte Verde with a bunch of friends. We took the public bus on the 5 hour journey to the cloud forest of Monte Verde for only $5. Then we got a hostel for only $6 per person. And they gave us the penthouse! We were really excited until we realized that there wasn't hot water, and that it so super noisy because of wind. I don't think I've ever been to a place so windy.
Anyways we had an amazing time zip lining. For $40 we got to go on 14 cables, of which 4 are extremely long: 1-1410 ft, 2-1275 ft, 3-1800 ft, 4-2250 ft. Cables have an approximate height of between 225 ft and 450ft, Tarzan Swing, Rappel (90ft), 21 platforms. Total walking distance of 2.8 Km., tour duration 3 hours.
I loved the Tarzan Swing! You basically jumped off a platform and free fall for some time and then the rope catches you and you swing super super high. It was amazing. We also go to do a zip line in the superman position. It felt like we were flyingg!
It was a real hike! and the air was thin so we were huffing and puffing our way up haha. It was over all a great trip. We were slightly sore the next day haha.
