Unusual Way to Travel in Columbia

Residents of Los Pinos, Colombia, including children, use a zipline for their daily commute. There are two ways in or out of Los Pinos– A two-hour hike or a one-minute zip line ride. Eight children use the zip line daily to go to school and return home. There are no plans to build a bridge, because the population of the village doesn’t justify it. Two separate cables strung across the river 1,200 feet below allow you to come and go, so– bring your own pulley, rope, and brake, and away you go! It looks like fun, but I don’t know about doing it every day.

Maximum speed, which can be developed on these ropes – 62 km / h.
Length – 400 meters.

Many are decorated with elaborate white friezes and patterns so typical for the area. The town’s remoteness and narrow streets suggest a closely knit community that could, in times of invasions, have allowed outsiders to enter yet not necessarily to leave

They say global warming will create rising sea levels, increasing drought, more extreme weather and the extinction of some species. Here’s a look at images coming out of Copenhagen and a few from around the globe.
