We spent our first afternoon in Pucon swinging from the tree tops like monkeys in the sport of Canopy.  Part of the group went white water rafting but I decided I wanted to try something new and this looked like fun.  As I climbed up the first shaky ladder I began to get nervous and question what I got myself into.  The first time the guide hooked me up to the rope, told me to sit and let me go it freaked me out a bit.  But after a few trips down the rope, it was just great fun.  The scariest part was climbing up the series of ladders and waiting on the shaky platforms in the tree tops.  As the wind picked up a bit, I thought to myself that we're all gonners if one of the trees gets blown down!  Fortunately, we came down safely and all had an enjoyable afternoon in the trees.
