... br><br>Am naechsten Tag fahren wir vormittags zum Ecocentro Danaus, einem kleinen aber SEHR feinen Naturpark, in dem wir bei einem Rundgang in freier Natur unsere ersten Pfeilgiftfroesche sehen koennen (nachdem wir uns daran gewoehnt hatten, nach wirklich extrem kleinen Tieren zwischen den Blaettern zu suchen).

Monteverde is high in the hills. So high it is at cloud level. I only had one night here so I went on an extreme canopy tour in the afternoon. This consisted of gliding across a cloud filled ...
