Zip lines

We did the zip-lines and suspended bridges in Monte Verde. These are serious zip-lines: you fly up to 40 mph through and above the cloudy rain forest. What views you get sailing over the canopy of trees! These guys don't mess around with their zip lines- some are a kilometer long! Here's a video of someone disappearing into the mist of the jungle:

An employee fixing something on the suspended
bridge. He was hanging by his waist over a couple
hundred feet of jungle!

That little speck of red is someone zooming down
 the zipline.


Coffee berries. Each November these are ripe enough to harvest.
The skin is removed, leaving a bean that is roasted and sold all
 over the world, but mostly to America.
