Goodbye for now Corcovado!

We've created monsters!

Oh the places you will go

All aboard the boat to Corcovado

Back on the mainland, we travelled to Manuel Antonio national park

This may be beautiful but it is an example of an invasive species

We kept our eyes open to the many animals around, but also saw the negative effects of tourism on the park

What's that up in the trees?

We saw at least 9 sloths in the park - amazing but way more than we would expect to see in a pristine forest

Monkeys!!!

Out best sloth impressions - we are ready for adventure

Welcome to paradise - aka Estacion Biologica Campanario

Our classroom has the best views

Fresh coconuts were all over the place - opening them was easier said than done

Determination and fun are the keys

Teamwork makes the dream work

Playing cards and enjoying our new Costan Rican family

A little rain in the rainforest - no worries in the world

Our guide Ferner taught us all about this beautiful reserve. We saw a sloth, several birds, a snake, and more

The sap of this tree is used as a medicine to help settle an upset stomach. It kinda tastes like vanilla too mmm

A beautiful insect we saw along the way

Into the jungle we go
