Costa Rica Feb 2019 Caribbean side
After the prop plane to San Jose, a bus to the coast. |
But the seats were sold out, so we sat on the floor. |
Hiking along the coast through the national park in Cahuita. Sore necks from looking up for birds and monkeys all day. |
Same coastal trail, and a very refreshing swim. |
More leaves! |
Monkeys in the garden of our lodge in Cahuita. Howler monkeys make a diabolic sound which every other Howler within earshot seems required to out-howl. |
Our Cahuita bungalow. |
Cahuita - Haney took a snorkeling excursion. They don't seem to believe in docks in Costa Rica. |
The local bus from Cahuita to Manzanillo, near the Panamanian border. |
Black vultures guard the grocery store in Manzanillo. |
Fun discoveries in the national park in Manzanillo. |
A sloth! Amazing. |
Eating leaf shoots. Slowly. Slowly. |
End of day on the beach in Manzanillo. |
Bicycles on the beach in Manzanillo - everyone bikes here. |
Leaving Manzanillo. Our Airbnb proprietor gave us a ride to the bus station in Puerto Viejo, a bigger, more touristy town. |
On the way back to San Jose. Changing buses in P. Limon. We had a seat this time. |
Sunset from our hotel balcony in Alajuela on our last night. |
Costa Rica Feb 2019 Pacific side
The second destination: Drake's Bay. Down from the Cerro de la Muerte to the tidal estuary of Sierpe to catch the boat the next day. A total of five bus rides and taxis. Very hot! |
But first, a tour of the Estero Azul. Here a White-faced monkey drinks water very carefully by dipping his cupped hand in the water so as to avoid crocodiles. |
Waiting for a ride to our lodge, the Finca Mariesa. |
A mango shake at a cafe after a very long and hot hike. It may have been what got us so sick. |
A day and a half lost to "turista" at our lovely lodge. |
The deck of our bungalow. |
The deck, common area, and dining room of Finca Mariesa. |
Waiting for dinner at Finca Mariesa. |
Our bungalow, on the right. |
While out walking, we ran into a troop of peccaries. |
Hiking in the rain forest. |
Lots of Scarlet Macaws in pairs. |
Bamboo brought in by the foreign fruit industry to build worker housing. But highly invasive. |
Two nights at the more modest but equally lovely Casa Horizontes.
