I'm not sure I can say that I overcame my fear of heights, but I can definitely say that I am one step closer. A morning of Tarzan-ing it across the canopy of the rainforest via zip lines was amazing! The initial trial got a few of my screams out and by the end I felt very comfortable going to and from station to station high above the trees. Each line got a little longer or higher than the previous, but each time I became more comfortable with the equipment holding my life and the brothers who led us in the right direction. Each line had a different view, some had mountains, some just the biodiversity of the rainforest and one line even landed on a wobbly bridge. Zip lining is an amazing activity, especially in such a beautiful country as Costa Rica. The equipment holding you up can hold up to 10, 000 pounds (so not to worry!) and they recommend placing your hands on the rods, but if you are daring enough: pull a Superman! I can't say that I "pulled a Superman", but I did zip line across the canopy of the rainforest with swift motions and a slowly turning head. Despite being stung by some sort of bee or insect, I survived with a smile and would not only recommend it to others, but also do it again myself!
