From there, you are dropped off and with the guides. They take you on a short walk to the first Zipline. You hike down a beautiful ravine/canyon that have a river and waterfalls. The scenery is amazing! You do 4 actual zip lines as well as a leap of faith jump and a bunjee jump at the end. You are secured and tied in for all the activities.
