It looks like infinity, doesn't it?
I finally dove into my 800 plus collection of Guatemala photos and surfaced with Ixpanpajul. I didn't know what to expect during the adventure, since my husband researches all of our activities. I'm glad I didn't know a darn thing. Because of all the steps it took to reach the infinite hanging bridges! They were more fun than a zip line, I figured. (although Ixpanpajul has them too) That's because we were able to spend more pulse racing time, hovering high above the jungle. It wasn't over in an instant.
Me!
We looked down on howler monkeys.
The world below our feet.
It was so scary!
After the 4th bridge - and a relaxing swing in a hammock at the tipity top - we started our descent down the mountain.
This photo was taken from the towering heights of our last bridge crossing. The 5th bridge.
The horses and animals really made this day a bucolic affair. One of my best memories of Guatemala.
P.S. I have a new post over at The Chorus of the Crows! It's about three bold and scrappy book thieves...

The photos looking down at the jungle from the bridge are wonderful, as are the animals. However, just the idea of such a bridge terrifies me! But thank you for being so brave, and sharing these photos with us.

That looks so fun!
Great photos but I must admit I wouldn't want to cross that bridge.
That bridge looks positively frightening! But you got some great shots!
Thanks for linking up at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2018/04/bedtime-at-biltmore.html
So so lovely! Though the bridge would give me a few heart palpitations.

Lovely views and creatures - but that bridge!! (Scare of heights...)
What a different perspective those bridges ust give you.
I would love to walk across that bridge
What an adventure! Beautiful!
Sure looks like fun, but I have a fear of heights, so I would have to decline. Happy Wednesday!
Oh to do that must have been amazing. My knees would be so weak. Beautiful sharing. Thanks.
The view looks amazing but I think my horrible fear of heights would stop me going on it

Hanging bridges are scary! Kudos to you and your husband for crossing these bridges! You're a nice looking, courageous pair!
Awesome photos! I would definitely be more interested in bridges than zip lines (even these ultra-skinny bridges!). Love the "world below or feet" shot!!
Yikes!! You wouldn't catch me on such a bridge..but my hat's off to you and hubby.
I'm back...this time from Skywatch Friday, to say your photos still terrify me, but I love the word "Ixpanpajul" — if you can pronounce that, you're good to go, right?

I think I'd love the bridges, but of course that's said while being much closer to the ground. Wonderful photos as always!
