This weekend I went back to the Volcano Rincon de la Vieja. This time I went with some friends who were designing the web site for a lodge near the volcano. In return for this they got a horseback tour of the outskirts of the volcano and a canopy tour was included. I was invited to come as well.

The horseback ride was interesting and we climbed up the slope of the volcano. Parts of the trip was up a steep road with a great view across Guanacaste and other part involved a muddy trail through the forest. We stopped when we reached the start of the canopy tour. It was a smaller canopy tour than the others, but it was plenty fast. I think they need a better braking system at the end of each zipline because some people ended up smacking into the tree at the end, but other than that it was fun.

We got back on the horses and continued down the trail until we reached a smaller path. Here we had to get off the horses and the steep path led to a pretty waterfall. We returned to the lodge which had a bunch of orange lemon trees that had nice and sour fruit.
