Reforestation Project, Ziplines, and a Volcano!!

July 3^{rd Giving Back to the Rainforest & Experiencing Volcanic Eruptions All In One Day!}

Today, we checked out of the Tirimbina Nature Preserve Lodge and drove to take part in a reforestation project with a local rainforest conservation learning center. We took on the heat with out shovels and seedlings of the trees the green macaw is dependent upon. The green macaw is endangered and, without our help, expected to become extinct within two generations. We helped to plant these trees in an area where they can grow and continue to sustain the green macaw population. With combined efforts, we planted 200 trees! It was very rewarding to give back to the environment by completing this project.

In the afternoon, we drove to the Arenal Volcano. We rode zip lines above the rainforest canopy, witnessing amazing sights one could only dream of! It was an invigorating experience! We checked into our hotel at the foot of the Arenal Volcano! We are staying in cozy cabins with a spectacular view of the volcano. We even were lucky enough to see it erupt! It was incredible! The black smoke from the volcano caused a rain cloud to evaporate, helping to clear the skies back to blue! We know you won’t believe it, so check out our pictures! (Theyre coming soon, but the internet won't load them right now- Ill try again in the am!)
