Here is the beautiful view down towards the town of Boquete from the launch platform for the Zip Line ride. This Zip Line is just over 3 kilometers on 12 stations, so it is quite a nice ride.

I must admit that I had pictured in my mind, back in Boise, more of a skiing-type chair-lift experience with leisurely gawking at the trees, birds and butterflies; snapping pictures and generally observing nature. What it really was is a hair-raising thrill ride attached to a wire-cable being pulled by gravity at high-speeds over a canyon that you hardly even look at you are so focused on the landing platform and trying to neither stop short or splat into the tree trunk. Though I was absolutely wrong in my thoughtless pre-conception, the reality was totally awesome and I'd do it again in a second!
