Canopy Tour



Hi Everyone!!!
Saturday we went on a Canopy Tour. What is a canopy tour? So glad you asked, it consist of zip lines and repealing in the Sierra Madre mountains. Our tour started out at 3:00, but before we got there by taxi, Meredith had to stop and buy some tennis shoes, the rest of us had brought some. Luckily the taxi driver was GREAT and helped Meredith out. He took us to the Mega Store which is like a Wal-mart. He also made Meredith feel better because he was really nice and spoke pretty good english.
So, about the trip - It started by a zodiak boat ride to the south of Puerto Vallarta, the zodiak is the type of boats that the SEALS use. After that we boarded a 4x4 truck (Cody said these are called Unilogs). After we got to the tour place we were breifed on how to zipline properly. We than were introduced to our mules and took a 25 minute ride up the mountian. After a short hike we were ready to try our first zip line. The company decided I was a little top heavy and gave me a chest harness so I didn't lean back too far, everyone else was doing great. After a couple of ziplines we learned how to repell and did our first repell down a small waterfall. we did a few more ziplines and than did a freefall repell; I beat Cody at this. We than finished with out a couples zipline; yes, Cody beat me at this one. We had a wonderful time and would reccomend it to anyone!! Here our some pictures from the trip.
