3. ZIP-LINING IN THE CANOPY Nature is exhilarating... and so are the adventures that await the Culturious today. Few experiences compare to today’s zip-line ride atop a rain forest canopy. There are eleven platforms and nine connecting cables hidden high up in the treetops, each offering a thrilling view of the Montezuma River below and the ocean beyond. Come back down to earth with a shower... in the tropical waters of a waterfall. We’re partying tonight! Kick off your shoes for cocktails on the beach as we celebrate the sunset (and your zip-lining victory) with a guaro sour and salsa music! Meals BD
