This past weekend we headed to Puntarenas to go ziplining over waterfalls! We all met early Saturday morning and drove about 2.5 hours to Puntarenas. When we got there the guides gave us an overview of what we were going to be doing and then we headed down to hop on a horse. My horses name was Mariposa (butterfly in english). We rode the horses for about an hour up to the top of the mountain where the ziplining begin. It was a gorgeous ride up! We saw lots of cows some pretty big lizards and just a great view of Costa Rica. There were 25 ziplines altogether. We started at about 9 o clock on the horses and gone done around 2 oclock. When we were half way done the ziplines we took about a 45 minute break and got to swim in the waterfalls. We had to jump off a rock about 10 feet high and into the middle of this pool like area where one waterfall ended and before a new one started. It was pretty scary because the current was very strong in this area and it was about nine feet deep. After we were done with all the ziplines they served us a typical Costa Rican meal (chicken, rice, beans, and vegtables). Since we had the rest of Saturday free and Sunday free we decided to go back to Jaco (it was only an hour away from Puntarenas). Eric and Carol went back to San Jose and me, Lianne, and Hannah headed to Jaco. Eric had gotten us a hotel and lets just say it wasnt what we expected. No air conditioning, lots of ants, an electric shower, and located in a scary part of Jaco. We made the best of it though and survived! We met some guys from Florida later on that night and hung out with them for a while before we headed back to the hotel. The next day we spent on the beach. It was very nice and relaxing! We headed back to San Jose around 4 and this time I did not get sick on the bus whoo hoo!!
