We had guests February 2022 and it turned out to be the rainiest week all year. I had scheduled an activity for each day, and we made the best of it. Ziplining at Toro Verde was a new experience for us, we had never been to the town of Orocovis.

We learned that Orocovis is at the center of the island. It was magical but not surprising that you could see the ocean from the hill tops. The island is approximately 30 by 100 miles in size.

We were concerned that the rides would be closed due to the rain, but we learned that unless it was extremely windy, the place remained open. We opted not to sign up for two fast rides (the Monster or the Beast, because they were very short and expensive. The seven stage zipline was more our style. We opted for an early appointment to avoid the sun, but it was to our benefit as we avoided the crowds as well.

After the rides we stopped at a restaurant to try out the longaniza sausage which is a specialty of the area. It is a Spanish sausage that is similar to the chorizo but favored with black pepper instead of paprika.
