Preparing for Ziplining!

On Tuesday we took flight lessons in the shadow of the Arenal Volcano at Sky Tram ziplining tours. We have some video of the adventure as well but it is difficult to upload so much action from Costa Rica! Instead check out Jes' response to the journey... by far the student who showed the greatest courage to conquer her fears and ride the wind!




Lake Arenal, the largest lake in Costa Rica. 

Pura Vida!

The Arenal Volcano was easy to see from our first zip point!

Lake Arenal's hydro dam generates 48% of Costa Rica's electricity.
