Arenal CR vacation

We headed to Volcan Arenal following our Manuel Antonio trip and decided to hit the ziplining tour again, not getting enough of it the first time out. While a different spot and a massive volcano in our sight, we once again were amazed at the beautiful lush rainforest setting. In addition to ziplining at the Ecoglide tour, we did the Tarzan swing which was awesome! We jumped off a very tall tower and swung through the jungle.

Here's McKenna glancing back before taking the Tarzan swing plunge.

confidence is on the rise, a couple experts smile for the camera

McKenna's zipping solo so quickly it's hard to catch her!

We took the hanging bridges hike where we crossed many suspension bridges and enjoyed hiking in the primary and secondary jungle. Behind our group was a tour group of NY college students.

One of the many colorful wildlife we saw on the hike, we ran into the most venimous snake in Costa Rica early on in the hike, fortunately he was encouraged off our trail before he got too close
