Regardless of the cause, I continued my flying journey this week with EcoQuest's 7 zipline, 7 canopy bridge hiking adventure through Carolinas' Carstic Preserve, Campo Rico. This site is a unique, 2,300 acre mosaic of Carstic hills, Mangrove forests, Fields and Wetlands. Campo Rico is owned by one the island's largest landholder/developers - but was set aside for preservation (partially because the wetland & mangrove adjacency prohibited most development-types) but also (!) to create a functional and profitable landscape where locals and tourists alike can connect with the diverse and vibrant ecosystems located just minutes from San Juan.
When you enterCampo Rico, you abruptly depart the loud and dense San Juan suburb of Carolinas to view a vast and verdant Hacienda, complete with fields of grazing Paso Fino horses, rows of plantains and sugarcane, a colonial-inspired mansion (for special events), an artificial pond with floating water lettuce & preening fowl, a golf course, and rolling hills of carstic forests. Although there are MANY excursions-types hosted by Campo Rico I participated in the 'Sunset' Zipline adventure.
