La Fortuna

After waiting in 45 minutes of traffic it was a leisurely, yet stressful winding tour. A quick pit stop in Sarchi, home of the painted carts, we arrived five hours later in La Fortuna. Our evening consisted of dinner and the local marching band competition. We just arrived back from zip lining through the rainforest. The 11 zip lines brought us through the canopy over waterfalls and rivers. The longest one was 950 meters, the fastest one had us zooming along at 40 miles per hour.

Our hostel is laid back and lots of friendly travelers, all here for some adventure and volcano sight seeing, although the volcano stop erupting a couple years ago.
