the green mountain is easy to reach from Nicaragua, but i waited too long at the laundry service and missed the first bus. at the end i stayed one night in las juntas, a small boring village in front of the Mountains... a local shared a taxi with me and showed me a cheap place to stay. once arrived in monte it was easy, a guy from the cheapest and best Backpacker hostel in town caught us directly at the bus station and brought us there. i met the danish guys there and booked my action pack!
the bungee jump was something totally New for me and i went with a couple of young girls up the mountain. at the Main company action station we left everything we didn't needed and went the small trail to the tiny wagon standing on steel ropes. the girls were all before me because they were lighter and they had to change the bungee rope only for me at the end. i waited as brave as i could be and was very exited when finally my turn was coming. they counted down from five and i jumped at three 143 m down in the Valley! wow the view and the pumping adrenalin was so powerful, it was incredible!
the super man zip lining the day after wasn't that adrenalin pushing, but really nice! to see the amazing landscape in a lying position and running on the line with a killer speed let you really feel like Superman! we all enjoyed that and i took some awesome vids with my go pro, yeah! finally came the Tarzan swing and it seemed to be a small extra attraction. it was a jump and swing combination and i was a bit scared to jump down. but once you jump it get your whole budy with a heavy prickling in in your belly. even the other guy who said that he jumps without screaming screamed like a pig in the slaughter house! by the way i met some calm and friendly girls from austria i met again in bocas del torro. perfect action in monteverde, highly recommended!
in Addition i had a funny Party with some beertowers. after 10 nobody is selling cigarettes in monte, so a local took me with on his moto (bike) for a very fast whole village Tour to check out the last possibilities. i was a bit scared but still without cigarettes when we arrived back at the bar and i decided to buy some single and expensive cigs from the street dealer...
