I LAVA the Canopy Tour!

We arrived in Arenal last night to our beautiful lodges nestled at the base of the Arenal Volcano. Despite our first experience of rain in a rain forest, we still were able to view the entire volcano, hear the sounds, and some even saw bright red lava flow as they relaxed in the jacuzzi!!! Hopefully we will all see lava tonight ( :

The rain caused us to reschedule our canopy tour to this morning. As we woke up, and stepped out on our back patio, we looked up at the volcano and the calm skies and knew “today is the day” as Fabian says.

We drove about a half hour to Sky Adventures and geared up for one of the most thrilling experiences of my life. Words cannot describe the views of the Arenal Lake, Volcano, and lush rain forest….and words surely cannot describe the RUSH from zipping 50 mph 200 m above ground!

I am so proud of our fearless group. They continue to amaze me with their sense of adventure and thirst to learn and grow from this experience.

This has been a trip of a lifetime. PURA VIDA!
