Spanish Trip – June 22
Today is canopy day!! Students have been super excited (and a little nervous and scared) to go zip-lining! We meet up with our group at our usual meeting spot early this morning. We got to Extremo Canopy and started putting on our gear. Some students decided to take the final zip-line “Superman” style, so we had to put on some extra equipment. After a short demonstration, we made our way up the first ladder. Hans and Luke were the first to try out the lines. With smiles and hearts pounding, we flew amongst the trees with amazing views all around. For some of the lines we got to pair up to go a bit faster. In the middle of the lines we got to do what’s called the “Tarzan Swing”, where you hook on to a couple ropes and fly from a platform like Tarzan. The first drop is quite scary, but students loved it. After a couple more lines we made our way up to the last line, which is 1 km long! This is the one some of us decided to do “Superman” style. It took a little more time to hook us in, but being able to spread your arms and fly in the clouds looking over the cloud forest was absolutely surreal. Enjoy the pictures.
