Zipline right next to volcano Arenal

On Tuesady morning we got up bright and early to begin our adventure at the Arenal Volcano. It is one of the most active volcanos in the world. I was hoping to see some red lava but the very top of the volcano was covered by a cloud all day. We asked one of the locals where the best place to do a zipline was and he gave us directions to one right next to Arenal national park. We got a little lost because he told us to turn by the police station. We were looking for some kind of building but it turns out that police stations look more like bus stops around here. Once we got on the right road it was unpaved, very rocky and littered with gian potholes. We drove for about 5 miles on the this road praying the whole time not to pop any of our tires. We finally arrived and boy was it worth it! We took a sky tram up this mountain right next to the volcano and did 7 ziplines all the way back down. The ziplines took us across this jungle covered valley between to mountains and we could see the lake off to oneside. It was AWESOME!! Our guides were so much fun. They took a ton of pictures for us and even a video. It rained part of the time and we were soaking wet, but it was still a blast!
