Flying

Today we headed to Mahogany Park for a canopy tour. As soon as we arrived at the park, I knew it was going to be amazing. Between the massive mahoganies and other trees, the forest was filled with life, from the creatures beneath our feet to the tropical birds soaring above us. Nicole, who had done her reasearch, told me that the birds were tinamou and jabriru, but I was just excited to soar above the jungle with them.



After climbing up a platform, we were hooked to a cable. We went across the forest, and the whole world seemed to fly by. I was so terrified, I couldn't speak, but everyone else was screaming their heads off. As soon as I started to relax, we landed, and climbed up to another platforms. We did this nine times.

When we were on one of the platforms, we spotted a white faced capuchin monkey. We only saw it for a second, but it was adorable! It looked like this:

After a day of flying through the jungle, it was time to go home. We were all exausted and arguing about who would shower first, but this experience was totally worth it.
