Day 6- On Top of the World!


Hola familia y amigos! We have just arrived to our home in Chilamate from the town La Fortuna. There we enjoyed a well-deserved swim in the waterfall after a challenging hike, then a relaxing evening in the hot springs.
            Today, some people went on a morning hike to see butterflies, snakes, frogs, and spiders.  The hike was very relaxing and informative.  We all enjoyed interacting with the butterflies in the butterfly farm and experiencing the new species of frogs, toads, snakes, and spiders.  Afterwards we went to the canopy tour.
            The zip line was so much fun!  There were 12 different segments, with platforms in between each one.  It was kind of scary at first, and a few people got stuck once or twice, but the views were great and it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.  After the 8th part, there was the option of trying the Tarzan Swing—a cord attached at the top, where you were pushed off a platform, freefalling for a few seconds, and then swinging for a minute or two. Almost everyone tried it out.  It was a thrilling experience and we will never forget this for the rest of our lives. 
            Later, we went shopping in La Fortuna and then headed back to Chilamate.  Home sweet home!

Hasta luego,

Belle, Ashley, and Meredith
