Selvatura Park in Monteverde, Costa Rica

Bump ba ti da! The road felt really bumpy and rocky as we were heading to Monteverde, Costa Rica to go to Selvatura Park. Where we were going to go zip lining/Tarzan swing, and the hanging bridges.

To get there we had to drive on a bumpy road. The feeling was not pleasant. The roads were dusty and our car was shifting to one side and then to the other side on the rocky hill. There were zipping trucks and motorcycles going more than 40 kilometers. It was frightening and uncomfortable, plus it was a hot day, combined with headaches= one big tiring car trip. We finally drove into Monteverde and stayed at a hotel.

The next day my dad drove us to Selvatura Park in a cloud forest. When we got there we put on sun screen and bug spray and we were on our way to the zip lining station. When we got there we got on our zip gear and headed to the practice run.The guides showed us how to do it. When everyone got it, we went to the first platform and then the second and then so on and so on. In total there was 15 platforms for zipping. On one of then I could see birds and the mountains. The mountains looked like the same ones in The Sound of Music. I loved going zip lining. Now the real fun begins with the Tarzan swıng.

After zip lining we had a optional decision to do the Tarzan swing. I had butterflies in my stomache but I pushed myself and I went. When I was done I wanted to go again!

Now it was time for the bridges. My family and I walked to the bridges. On each bridge we saw trees and birds, also lots of clouds. We were really high in the air. The bridge felt unsteady, but it was an amazing view. There were lots of flowers - it was beautiful. When we were done I thanked my parents for a wonderful time.
