Is this Shore Excursion for me

[kruisey]

Am a senior lady in my late sixties and have booked Rainforest Skywalk and Pura Vida Gardens in Costa Rica Tour.Was reading another post the other day ....regarding suitability.states have to be physically fit + for this tour.I walk 2 to 3 miles every day and have no bone problems.
This tour involves walking over suspended cable bridges,four in all.
Would I slow people down?
There seems to be such a wonderful choice on this tour for anyone who is interested in photography.This is why I booked it.
Has anyone done this trip ?.Advise please .

I don't know if anyone else can answer this for you. Cable bridges are very unstable laterally. How is your inner ear/balance? What's your tolerance for heights? Only you can make an assessment of your capabilities and limitations.

I agree with jhannah. Do you fear heights and is your balance good. You walk which means you are still active but how fast do you walk? Is it just a stroll around the mall or is it outside going up and down hills? Do you lose your breath well walking? Are you dizzy after the walk? For balance you can ask your doctor to test you? If you look down then stand up do you lose balance or have dizziness? If you lose your breath or balance do you recover quickly or do you need to lie down?
