For Daisy Mora, 9, and the rest of the people in her village, a steel cable flying fox is the only way of getting to the outside world, the Daily Mail reported.
Despite her youth, Daisy is expected to travel down the flying fox at speeds of up to 62km/h with her younger brother attached beside her in a sack.
It’s a high pressure journey, with a 400m drop into the Rio Negro river facing her if the pulley system gives way.
Every big sister’s dream. Her little brother in a sack.

Oh, wow! I used to have a couple of these photos! I remember thinking it must be one thing to be the person holding on to the cable, but I shudder to think what it must be like to be dangling along in the burlap sack. Obviously, school is pretty important to those folks.
