Costa Rica Day 7 - Trying to Heal Canyon & Zip Lining for Presley

After an extremely rough night with Canyon, we canceled our morning adventure to help Canyon rest and hope for the antibiotics to kick in. Unfortunately, he started spiking a fever late in the morning. Trying to be get him better but also be sensitive to Presley, Mom and Dad decided to divide and conquer, with Dad taking Canyon back to doctor early and Mom taking Presley to Sky Adventures for some ziplining and hanging bridges.

The doctor says that the Amoxicillin was not working and put Canyon on a stronger and broader antibiotic. She also gave him another shot for pain and some electrolytes to keep him hydrated. Here's an example of his prescriptions.



Sky Adventures has one of the more extensive canopy tours in the country. We learned that our hotel requires Sky Adventures to provide an extra safety strap for its guests. Mom was excited for that! After a "practice" run, the tour starts with a tram ride to the top of the mountain and features 10 separate zip-lines, one of which was 1/2 mile long. On our ride to the top, we were lucky to catch a rare, clear and beautiful viewing of Arenal Volcano. Each of the zip lines were all crazy high above the rainforest. Such a fun experience. Hopefully, Canyon and Dad can experience on our next trip here.






After the zip-lining, Mom and Presley explored the Skywalk, a network of forest paths and hanging bridges with great views of the region. Some of the hanging bridges were 300 yards along (enough to cover 3 football fields). Along our walk, Presley and Mom spotted a family of howler monkeys, a special treat to end our day here.
