Canopy Tour

This was by far the greatest activity we did in Puerto Vallarta in my opinion. A canopy tour is essentially a wire cable suspended in the air connected at each end by a tree. You wear a harness and then its attached to a handle bar on the wire. The guides called it a Mexican Harley. Then you go zipping down the cable, where at the end a guide is there to stop you or come out and get you if you get stuck on the cable. This was my biggest fear but luckily I had no problems unlike Jake. There were a total of 14 lines during the tour with the highest being 400 meters. The lines went through the forest and over the river. Jen and I made many boyfriends on this trip especially with the videographer. He would ride down with you and record you and other guides would ride to get to the other platforms. One of my trips with a guide he was behind me and the next thing I knew he had spun me around in the middle of the wire over the river. The guides definelty made the tour with their sense of humor, we were always laughing. After the tour Jake, Jen and I decided to go and see the monkeys. They let you in the cages to feed the monkeys. The monkeys would jump between the three of us on our shoulders with their wet feet. This ended quickly for me after one of the monkeys peed on me. Normally, I would have been more grossed out but I was already hot and sweaty so it didn't matter. Jake and Aaron both held a python around their necks, that is were Jen and I drew the line. It was a great experience and something that I would do again. We were happy to see that mom and dad were good sports and were up to this adventure. Way to go!
