Desde mi descenso en parapente biplaza desde la cima del monte Signal Hill en Ciudad del Cabo, Sudáfrica, ha transcurrido al menos cinco días y ahora nos encontramos en Howick, ciudad ubicada en la provincia de KwaZulu-Natal, admirada y preferida por su altitud, basta biodiversidad y fascinantes paisajes cuyo biotopo nos cuenta hermosas historias; estas características físico naturales y culturales la convirtieron en un emporio turístico que atrae a cientos de viajeros y visitantes en busca de aventuras ecológicas como por ejemplo, el zip lining en Karkloof Canopy Tour, reserva natural de Karkloof que está a solo 19 kilómetros de Howick.

We woke up in Amber Valley Retirement Village at my father-in-law's house, who offered us a ride to the Karkloof Canopy Tour® office, located northeast of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands; a ride that took approximately 22 minutes.

Una vez verificada nuestra reservación, nos trasladan en un vehículo todoterreno hasta lo alto de la montaña donde se pondría a prueba la adrenalina y explosión de emociones extremas.
Once our reservation was verified, we were transported in an all-terrain vehicle to the top of the mountain where the adrenaline and explosion of extreme emotions would be put to the test.

En un emocionante intento por experimentar qué sentía Tarzán cuando se lanzaba en bejucos de un árbol a otro, me atreví a subir a una plataforma de aproximadamente 40 metros de altura para ponerme unos arneses, casco y dejar deslizar la polea sobre el cable acerado que me trasladaría de estación en estación por casi dos horas de aventura aérea. In a thrilling attempt to experience what Tarzan felt like as he swooped from one tree to another, I dared to climb a platform approximately 40 meters high to put on a harness, helmet and let the pulley slide over the steel cable that would take me from station to station for almost two hours of aerial adventure.

Debo admitir que antes de lanzarme de la primera plataforma, un bombardeo de pensamientos dudosos quiso opacar la aventura aérea y mi esposo actuó con su poder de elocuencia para devolverme la seguridad y decidirme con toda confianza a pasear por las copas de estos frondosos e inmensos árboles.

I must admit that before launching myself from the first platform, a bombardment of doubtful thoughts wanted to overshadow the aerial adventure and my husband acted with his power of eloquence to restore my confidence and make me decide with full confidence to walk through the canopy of these immense leafy trees.

Mi esposo disfrutó pasar de una copa de árbol a otra apreciando los detalles que ofrece esta panorámica vista. Es una experiencia que disfrutaré al máximo en la siguiente oportunidad porque tendré más confianza y seguridad en mi misma.
My husband enjoyed moving from one treetop to another appreciating the details offered by this panoramic view. It is an experience that I will enjoy to the fullest next time because I will be more confident and self-assured.

Una vez en tierra firme, ambos manifestamos nuestras impresiones sobre la experiencia; mi esposo ha practicado este deporte en varias ocasiones, en mi caso es la primera de varias veces, ya que quedé muy satisfecha con la travesía por la docena de estaciones aéreas que cubren centenares de metros lineales.
Once on dry land, we both expressed our impressions of the experience; my husband has practiced this sport on several occasions, in my case it is the first of several times, as I was very satisfied with the journey through the dozen aerial stations that cover hundreds of linear meters.

Nada mejor para cerrar con broche ecológico esta aventura, que maravillarse mirando y escuchando la monumental caída de agua cristalina que desciende desde esta formación montañosa con nutrida vegetación.
There is nothing better to close this adventure with an ecological finishing touch than to marvel at the monumental crystalline waterfall that descends from this mountainous formation with nourished vegetation.
