Costa Rica
The Sky Trek is a series of very high, and sometimes very fast, zip lines which whisk you through the canopy of the Monteverde cloud forest!
As we were being kitted up in safety gear we got our first glimpse of the previous group whizzing down the final stretch far above our heads, at which point I was a hummingbirds wing beat from turning back. But, determined not to miss this once in a lifetime experience I launched myself out hundreds of feet over the treetops… and loved it! Two and a half miles of cable later I was securely back on the fertile Costa Rican soil thanks to the professional and friendly safety guides.
For the faint hearted, vertigo sufferers or anyone wanting to observe the biodiversity of the forest there is the far more sedate Sky Walk.
