The Call of the Wild: Monteverde’s Extreme Zip Line Adventure

The moment I heard about the Extremo Monteverde Park, I knew it was calling my name. As a former professional athlete, the thrill of pushing boundaries is in my blood. My fiancée and I were in Costa Rica, and the promise of the longest and highest zip line experience in Monteverde was too tempting to resist. We had heard about Bethshiva, a local travel agent, from fellow travelers at a quaint soda. Her reputation for going above and beyond for her clients was legendary, and she didn’t disappoint. She arranged everything seamlessly, and soon we were on our way to the adventure of a lifetime.

Soaring Through the Canopy

Arriving at Extremo Monteverde Park, the anticipation was electric. The park boasts 14 zip lines, with five of them stretching over 400 meters, and the longest reaching a staggering 1 kilometer. As we geared up, the adrenaline was already coursing through my veins. The first few lines were a warm-up, but as we progressed, the lines grew longer and the views more breathtaking. Flying over the lush canopy, with the wind rushing past, was an exhilarating experience. The Superman cable, a 1-kilometer line where you’re harnessed face-down, was the ultimate thrill. It felt like flying, pure and simple.

Beyond the Zip Line

But the adventure didn’t stop there. The park also offers a 30-meter rappel, a Tarzan swing, and a subterranean Superman cable. Each activity was a new challenge, a new rush of adrenaline. The Tarzan swing, in particular, was a heart-stopping moment. Standing on the edge, looking down into the abyss, and then leaping into the void was a test of nerves. But the rush of swinging through the air, the world a blur around you, was worth every second of fear. By the end of the day, we were exhausted but exhilarated, our hearts still pounding from the day’s adventures.

A Personal Touch

What made this experience truly special was the personal touch. Bethshiva, our travel agent, was more than just a guide. She was a friend, ensuring that every detail was perfect and that we felt cared for throughout our stay. Her warmth and dedication added a layer of comfort to the thrill of the adventure. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares about your experience, and Bethshiva was that person. Her passion for her work and her country shone through, making our Costa Rican adventure unforgettable. If you’re ever in Costa Rica, I can’t recommend her enough. She’s the key to unlocking the best experiences this beautiful country has to offer.
