Costa Rica Part I



The Costa Rica trip was some fun. In part I., I'll describe Tirimbina. The staff was fabolous, the AC'd lodge rooms clean & bugfree--actually more like an upscape hotel than a jungle lodge, and the food was some of the best of the trip. Real, unprocessed food and cooked just for us.


We saw tucans, parrots, dozens of bright-colored birds (too many species to list and many unidentified), sloths, wolly opossums (on the bridge at night), giant toads, ghost frogs, blue jeans dart frogs, white tent bats, green basilisks, kingfishers, herons, ducks, congos, iguanas, etc. The tours we took were chocolate tour, boat tour, night tour, and bat tour.

I like Wildlife said...

That one is bluejeans dart frog. They are very common on Tirimbina's trails.
