Steve took this picture out the window. The blue truck is driving back and forth over the cans to crush them.

On our way to Canopy el Eden. The movie "The Predator" was filmed on location here.

This is the remnants of the helicopter that they blew up in the movie "The Predator".

Gage getting outfitted with a harness.
|
Leif is a bit skeptical about the whole thing.
|
But, he suits up anyway.
|
Roma, too, gets strapped in.
|
Gage volunteers to go first on the practice run.
|
Leif's turn to try. With each run, he got more and more enthusiastic and wanted to do it again!
|
We are a scary looking crew!
|
There goes Gage.
|
Leif overcame his fears quickly, and soon he and Gage were fighting over who got to go first.
|
Roma comes in for a landing. The guide has a hand brake that you can see in his hand in case you come in too fast.
|
All the runs had names like "Scorpion" & "Depredator" & "Gobernator" and "Arnold". It was pretty funny.
|
This was a shrine to the owners brother who was killed on this spot when the river flooded many years ago.
|
Pedro get us ready for tequilla tasting. Yes, the canopy tour also makes and sells their own tequilla. We bought a bottle of the coffee flavored one.

There was a pond of freshwater turtles. Gage wanted to take them home to the boat with us.
