Urubamba River zipline

I wanted to have Peter do something exciting while he was visiting so 1 day we did a Zip line over the Urubamba River. First, we climbed up 400 mt on a rock face through Via Ferrata and from the top, we descended the mountain flying over the Sacred Valley and enjoying the breath taking scenery, using 6 zip lines from 100 mt to 500 mt long.

3/4 way up

Almost to the top where our 1st zip line is. I was petrified since I had never done anything like this before!
Our 3rd line

Peter on the line called "The Beast" since it is so long and so fast! Peter took a running start so he is moving alot faster than he should've been!
