Mindo Canopy Adventure (Zip Line)

Yesterday Ian and I went to the top of a mountain and zipped around for a bit.  The ride up on a 3 wheeled vehicle was part of the fun! 

A collection of this very popular transportation here in Mindo.
You wouldn't believe how bumpy the ride was!!! No shocks and our butts were off the seat in mid air for some of the ride! Lots of laughing.

Our trusty driver.

The view from the back seat.


I did the one on the far right.... The Mariposa.

Getting ready.

All ready to go... kind of.

Me doing the Mariposa, which means butterfly. It was fun!

One of our guides showing us the ropes.



After we had the whole place to ourselves a large group came in. We stayed so I could photograph them.

A demonstration.



Understandably tentative.

A little heap from the guide. I did it all by myself, so did Ian.

A real mariposa.
The walk back to town.

  1. Adrenalina pura - for sure! I especially like the Irish Green Butterfly, or as they call it, the Mariposa.
