Hi Alan,
I went zip wiring, an optional excursion on the March tour, in Selvatura Adventure Park, Monteverde. In fact at least 10 of us must have given it a go. A truly memorable experience, not to be missed. There are something like 10 wires, the last, spectacular one being 1 km long, thus high. For anyone who freaks out, there are helpful young gentlemen to go tandem with, but most of us got the hang of it fairly quickly. Just bear in mind that quite a lot of walking & climbing is required between wires, it's humid, the equipment is quite heavy & you can't turn back. Also, I believe there was a 90 kg limit on the last wire, though we weren't weighed! No one did the Tarzan swing at the end, but youngsters from other tours did try the facedown version of zip wiring, the name of which eludes me....they needed even more equipment & guts!! Take your own photos as the "professional" photographer was only offering a DVD, whilst people had hoped for individual photos. A truly great holiday which I'm sure you'll enjoy.
