uatemala Preview 08: Cables X-Tremos!

On our way out of Panajachel, we stopped at a nature reserve to do some zip lining. They hook you up with harnesses and give you two guides who walk you up a mountain, across rope bridges and through the jungle.

When you get to the top one guide hooks up and zips 1,000 feet across tothe other side, and the other helps you hook up and sends you across the ravine. You do this eight times. Youo start far above the jungle floor and then go through the jungle canopy, and finally end up ziplining back in to where you started.

It is a beautiful way to see the jungle up close, and it was a whole lot of fun.
