Speed Above Canyons On A Cabo Zip Line
July 22nd, 2009. Published under Destinations. No Comments.
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, has the reputation of being one of the world’s best vacation spots. While this incredible city offers a multitude of activities, events, and things to do, nothing can come close to beating the thrill of soaring through the sky on a Cabo zip line adventure. After all, what could possibly beat speeding above a canyon at 30 miles an hour?
Also known as a flying fox, a zip line involves a safety harness attached to a heavy-duty suspension cable strung between two points with one point slightly higher than the other. After strapping yourself into the harness attached to the cable, you leap into the air to fly like a bird as gravity takes over and you descend to the lower point at speeds faster than you might imagine.
No amusement park or roller coaster in the world can compete with this experience as you soar above jungle canyons and desert terrain with your arms stretched out wide and the wind in your hair. You’ll share the sky with over 350 varieties of tropical birds native to the region hundreds of feet in the air. This adventure will definitely create memories that will last a lifetime.
A Cabo Zip Line Vacation
Upon arriving, you’ll first notice the bright sunshine, beautiful beaches, magnificent mountains, and swaying palms. After you settle in, you might want to go for a dip in the pool or head out immediately for your zip line adventure. Once you complete a short training session, you’ll know everything you need to fly through the air safely. Strapped securely into your safety harness and attached to the suspension cable, you simply step off the platform as gravity takes over and you begin your thrilling descent down the side of a mountain or across a canyon.
You can relax and enjoy your experience without safety worries because local zip line companies take safety seriously. You’ll marvel at the sights below you including river-filled canyons, stunning rock formations, or lush jungle terrain. Your bird’s eye view of the world will send your heart racing as you laugh out loud or scream so the world can hear.
Careen Above The Canopy
The jungle canopies of the village of Miraflores and the Boca de Sierra National Park are really something beautiful to experience. Several local zip line companies offer canyon canopy adventures here in this most gorgeous natural wonder. The Costa Azul Canyon also offers a breathtaking experience as you zigzag across a desert river and enjoy stunning views and dramatic drops.
Monster Zip Line Tours
If you really want to soar higher, faster, and longer, consider a monster zip line tour where you can fly solo or in tandem over some of the rivers, canyons, and jungles that make this region considered one of the most spectacular terrains on Earth. Monster zip lines are definitely for those who want an extreme adventure.
The only problem with a Cabo zip line vacation is that you’ll want to come back again and again for this amazing experience once your heart rate returns to normal. The good news is with many zip line adventures in the area and so many things to see below, you’ll have a new experience each time you return.
