Try Mombacho ziplinein Granada, Nicaragua

Fly over the tops of the rainforest right on the dormant volcano. There are 17 platforms on it, from which you can go down a zipline.

The most extreme entertainment in the Mombacho National Park is zipline. Two kilometers of stretched cables, tied between trees, along which you can descend at high speed. There are 17 platforms for choice, where you can "take wing" to fly right above the rainforest. Local inhabitants - capuchins, howlers, and others - will be surprised when they see such a large "bird".

1. Take a bus (direction - Naneyde) or call a cab to drive 10 kilometers, that separate the nearest city of Granada and the park.

2. Go another 1.5 kilometers to the entrance of the park. At the checkpoint, pay an administrative fee of $5 (adult ticket).

5. The instructor will tell you how to descend the cabel and help to put on all necessary equipment: a helmet, gloves, safety belts, etc.

2-2,5 hours of ziplining - 1000 cordobas.

When you get used to the descents a bit, ask the instructor to hook you upside down or in a superman pose. Yes, that's also possible;)
