La Leona Tent Camp Carate

... fairly easy and the signage very good. The one factor that tired us and made the experience difficult was the humidity. I have never in my life felt humidity as I have in Costa Rica. It made us so tired and hot and sticky and sweaty, our clothes were sopping wet and I no longer cared about flashing any wildlife when I pulled up my t-shirt to wipe my sweaty brow displaying a sopping wet bra in the process. It was highly uncomfortable. <br><br>We must have been hiking for about 3 ...

I was feeling very refreshed after a great night's sleep - in proper beds! - back at Hotel Oro Verde in Puerto Jiménez where we had left our large backpacks while trekking in the jungle. Today was going to be a bit of a recovery day, but I quite fancied either taking a kayak tour of some nearby mangroves, or going on a dolphin watch. Both of these trips were $35, both were two hours long, and ...

... day with just animals, fish and birds everywhere you looked and turned. The headcount is being replaced today for "Bird of the Day". Today's entrant is the majestic Brown Booby. Link to a picture enclosed. There are apparently all kinds of Booby's in these parts all a fabulous creatures. If and when we see more Booby's, then fear not I will update you. I feel I should give our fellow travellers in Corcovado a ...

... ca. 30 Met** vom Me** entf**nt.) Wir standen um 06:30 auf und es war b**eits sehr hell. Am Fruehstueckstisch waren - wie ueblich - die englisch-sprechenden Gaeste sehr kommunikativ, wir Schweiz** waren da eh** zurueckhaltend, tauten dann ab** auch ein wenig auf. Ich schnappte mir nach dem Essen ein "Boogieboard" (eine Art kurzes Surfbrett, auf dem man liegend surft) und wagte mich trotz rot** Flagge - "Nicht ins Me** gehen" - raus. (Ein and**** Gast ...

... here is secondary growth, having been logged more than 40 years ago, the forest came back a very rapid rate. Though the area is home to many, many poisonous snakes, we were denied the opportunity of seeing any of them. The next morning, we were greeted by a couple White Faced Capuchin Monkeys, eating their breakfast in the coconut tree outside our tent. That afternoon, we had a guided hike within the ...

... well at all the whole ride, and just thought it was car sickness, at least until we actually got to the hostel, where i soon realized that no, it wasn´t car sickness, but a flu and really bad fever!!! i ended up spending the whole day getting chills and being boiling and randomly having to run to the bathroom to hurl!! ya, not so fun, but fortunetly it didn´t even last all day, and by the night i actually was feeling well enough to go out ...

... I was kind of bummed that I couldn't drive. Lisa was getting seriously freaked out by the road and driving on it. Kind of a bummer, it was like Charlie and I were two kids in toy store but we couldn't touch any of them. We eventually made it to Carate. We grabbed some lunch at a really expensive eco-lodge called Luna Lodge and took off to the park. The park was quite beautiful. Two kinds of ...

I'm glad Charlie rented a 4x4 car, because we were really gonna need it. We drove to Cabo Matapalo the following morning. Sketchy bridges and a few stream crossings. There is nothing in the town of Cabo Matapalo. Its the hilliest and crappiest dirt road I have ever driven on in a town. Its extremely narrow (barely fits one small car). They call it a town, but its not really a town. There are just ...

... Ausschau halten werden muessen (125$ pro Tag und Person inklusive 3 Mahlzeiten). Nach etwas zoegern, reduziert sie den Preis auf 75$ - immer noch sehr viel! Aber wir entscheiden uns schliesslich dafuer - dann machen wir eben mal Urlaub im Urlaub ... Kurz danach haben wir unser Zimmer bezogen (es haette auch Bungalows gegeben 155$) und bekamen ein leckeres leichtes Mittagessen von mit Fliege bewaffenten Kellnern geboten - wir waren offensichtlich im Paradis angekommen :-) Der ...

... de "longue randonnée". Et la dernière sur la plage, selon ses dires. En plus, nous somme partis un peu en retard et avons fait une bonne partie de la randonnee a maree haute. Nous devions grimper sur des rochers avec nos sacs a dos sur le dos pour contourner la pointe! On se faisait aussi depasser par des coureurs qui se tapaient 47 km (sans sac sauf un camelbak) dans les mêmes conditions que nous ...
