You clip in at a timber platform half-swallowed by ferns and vines, the harness snug, helmet clicked, and an attendant calling clear, calm instructions. The canopy ahead is a living ceiling: sierra palms lean like sentries, bromeliads hang from branches, and the humid air smells of wet leaves and earth. When you launch, the world drops away in a rush of wind and green—line after line carries you higher and farther across slope and ravine until the final two stretches open into the longest zips in eastern Puerto Rico, skimming the upper canopy like a steel bird.
