White Water Rafting & Ziplining

Before leaving Costa Rica in 2 days time, we went out to enjoy some of the best activities this country has to offer: white water rafting and ziplining (aka - canopy tours). We drove about 1.5 hours north of the base for our grand adventure. We hit a level 2/3 river (4 being the highest for rafting, 5 for kayaking) and had a great time! The water has been low, but we only got stuck on a few rocks. No one fell out of the rafts other than those who were pushed out by our guides (they were a lot of fun!). After barely making it up the mountain in our van (the rocky road was slippery because of the rain), we zipped along 6 different lines. The lines were faster than usual today because of the rain. Pictures below, before starting rafting, Paola (our fearless leader, driver & translator) looks at peace, Alaina looks a little nervous (whatever!) and I'm ready to go!
