Costa Rica - Day 7

Friday was our excursion day, and after a week of hard work, everyone was ready for a little adventure!

We loaded up the bus for about an hour-and-a-half drive to go zip lining. Everyone was encouraged to push themselves and try something new—and they absolutely did!

One of the biggest challenges was the infamous Monkey Drop. You zip line out over the river and then, at the end, get dropped straight into the water below. 😳

Let’s just say there were some very brave people…and some very nervous people!

Afterward, we had the chance to cliff jump into the water and spend some time playing in the waterfalls. It was such a fun way to experience the beauty of Costa Rica together. We even managed to spot a sloth, which felt like the perfect little bonus to our adventure!

After working up an appetite, we enjoyed a traditional Costa Rican lunch before continuing on our journey.

We then headed to the beach for some sightseeing and shopping. It was our last opportunity to soak in the scenery, pick up a few souvenirs, and enjoy just a little more of this beautiful country.

Eventually, it was time to load back onto the bus for the four-hour drive to San José.

By the time we arrived at our quaint hotel, 1915, everyone was exhausted. But there was one thing that made us all very, very happy…

AIR CONDITIONING. 😂🙌🏼

After a week in the Costa Rican heat, that cold air felt like the greatest luxury in the world!
