Costa Rica Cost Of Living Update: Cartagena Canopy Tour- $35/person (negotiated for a party of three)
My phone and internet line are still down. So I’m finding lots of things to do…fun things.
I’ve been zip-lining a few times in Costa Rica, and each ride feels thrilling. I believe these adventures help me stay out of a rut, and flying through the air attached to a cable is a great way to get out of your comfort zone. And don’t we all need those moments when we challenge ourselves and do something adventurous?
So it turns out being off-line is the best excuse to get on-line and zip through the jungle. Just make sure you don’t look down.
[…] are many exciting things to do in Costa Rica like zip-lining, snorkeling, or horseback riding on the beach. However, nothing will elicit a bigger reaction from […]
as always, we enjoy your site, and are waiting to sell our wonderful home here in sunny Florida for a simpler way of life there in Costa Rica. We plan on building a home.If anyone knows of a nice rental somewhere east of San Jose, email me!!
When I get weary in my way of life here, I read your book again…gets my blood percolating like 1820 coffee!! Marlene
I like using Brooke from godutchrealty.com . She is really nice and can point you in the right direction. I’m drinking my Montana coffee right now and staring out at the blue sky. The howler monkeys were extra loud this morning, I’m pretty sure they are right by my house.
Hello Friend,
Enjoying shoveling snow and bearing minus 20 degree celcius weather…NOT. Rembering Costa Rica fondly! PS We bought a house on the island!(Vancouver Island that is)
I’m so happy for you (and happy for me that I have a friend in Vancouver!). Don’t miss the cold weather but will get my dose when I go home for Xmas.
I recommend for a new adventure you take up scuba diving in all your spare time. We’ve been to Playa Del Coco twice for the diving. Amazing and so worth getting cold for! Bull sharks, harlequin shrimp, and humpback whales, oh my, I think its time for another visit. 🙂
Sounds wonderful. I’ve only been scuba diving once. I believe it was in the Bahamas, so it was just a resort certification. It would be a lot of fun doing out it, that’s for sure.
Looks like a blast! How far are the runs and how many do you get. Also how high are you?
There are 12 cables and 14 platforms. Some were pretty long and very high up. It wasn’t the best canopy tour I’ve been on, but it was close and I was anxious to have some fun. Overall, you can never pass down a day of swinging through the trees.
(Sing in tune with “Singin’ in the Rain.”)
I’m swingin’ in the trees
Just swinging in the trees
What a glorious feelin’
To be busy as the bees
I’m laughing at no net
Cause everything’s wet
Rob’s love is in my heart
And we’re accruing no debt
Let the stormy clouds chase
All the monkeys from the place
Come on with the rain
I’ve a smile on my face
I push through the vines
Drinking very fine wines
Really lovin’ this place
Just swingin’
Swingin’ through the trees.
I’m already singing it……
