In response to ...Thank you for the above comments. In response to Abraham's and Saretta's comments about the sway of the brindgeor the sides closing in, I should point out that the cloud forest canopy walkway at Monteverde is remarkably stable.<BR/><BR/>I have been on some canopy walks that do sway back and forth ande that move each time someone takes a step or shifts his or her weight. Those swinging canopy walks are usually built from platforms hanging from the high trees.<BR/><BR/>The Monteverde Canopy walk has suspension bridges like the one in the photo that are anchored in the ground on each end and that are stabilized by a metal frame. Yes, it still does move and sway a little bit, but not too much. Of course it is possible to look straight down throughout the walk on the bridges, which can be a challenge for those who are bothered by heights.Dave-CostaRicaDailyPhoto.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567583999945259422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486504529519277316.post-5888482249879333072008-08-11T07:33:00.000-07:002008-08-11T07:33:00.000-07:00The trail and the suspension bridges sound awesome...The trail and the suspension bridges sound awesome!
