Toro bikes! I can get my cardio workout in while enjoying the view. Orocovis is my mom's hometown, nice to see it highlighted on your channel

Haha the Toro Bikes definitely feels weird and scary at first. I still don’t understand exactly how it works 😂 Orocovis is great! I actually visited more places and recorded footage, but decided to add a quick snippet at the end to not make the video so long haha BUT I’m thinking of going back at some point because there are interesting things to see and do there! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

I went to Toro Verde when it was still expanding a lot. I think it was like 2014. The structure where the restaurants are was under construction, and I thought it was going to be a hotel. I remember we did the ziplines, La Bestia, and this feature called The Bridges. The bridges was actually my favorite, because it was actually challenging, and a little scary. The ziplines, even the big ones are cool and entertaining, but not scary to me. I actually felt fear and real adrenaline doing the bridges. They've done a lot of development and expansion, and it doesn't surprise me, especially if they still have the same manager. The lady in charge when I visited was strict, imposing, and all business. You could tell that the place was going to succeed with someone like her in charge. The other thing I enjoyed were the constant great views, because of the elavation of the property. The experience definitely was on the expensive side, but I think it was worth it.

Thanks for sharing that!! I think the bridge is actually still there!! I saw it while on one of the ziplines. What they told me is that you walk on it till you get to the middle and then you have to rappel down from the bridge to the ground. Is that sort of what you did? Either way, everything at the park is great, like you said! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷
@kings17court2 жыл бұрын
@@BriksTravelGuides Yes that's what I remember. We did a series of bridges/challenges, and then we got to a point where we had to rappel down. At no point did you feel as secure and safe as you did with the ziplines.

Mark .... If someone has a real fear of heights, I would not recommend it. The only way I would recommend it would be if you are committed to getting over your fear of heights. You would be diving head first into the fear, which could be therapeutic.
