Lava and Ziplines

The most active volcano in Costa Rica is Arenal. During the day you don´t see much, but at night we could observe the lava flowing down the mountain. 3 hours further by Jeep-Boat-Jeep, in Monteverde, we finally went on one of these "Canopy Tours" that we had been seeing all over Costa Rica. Every village seems to have one, but here they are supposed to be bigger, better, faster. A series of steel cables that you hang on to with a pulley, and zip down through the jungle, or across a valley. Some of them were rather high up and hundreds of metres long. The whole tour was rounded off with a nice "tarzan swing".
