Wild Commutes That Make Rush Hour Traffic Look Easy

School Zip Line

The children of Los Pinos, Colombia have quite a decision to make when it comes to school commutes. They can either go for a walk that usually takes about an hour, or they can zip line right over a canyon and the Rio Negro. Reaching speeds up to 40 miles per hour, the zip line is clearly the faster choice. It's about 1,300 feet above the river, and it's a terrifying distance down.
