Koffieplantage Monteverde
... en wij onderaan om ze op te vangen. 50Kg limones later zetten we onze weg verder naar de koffieplantage. Freddy produceert op zijn 12ha zo'n 1200kg koffie per jaar. De bonen worden gepeld, gewassen en gedroogd op het domein. Als je op de boon bijt en ze kraakt, is ze klaar om gebrand te worden. Het drogen gebeurd in grote, houten bakken waarin gaas gespannen is. Elke dag moeten ze dooreen gezet worden zodat ...
Costa Rican Coffee

After our ride, our guide showed us a coffee tree and what the little coffee beans look like when they are growing.

Our next adventure: Canyoning
... to lean back fairly far and keep your feet flat on the rock so that it is less slippery. The first waterfall was fairly short, and it was so cool to get to the bottom and see the waterfall and realize that I just rapelled down it! The only down side was that the water was pretty cold and you get fairly wet when you are rappelling down a waterfall! Our guide informed us that there were 6 waterfalls in total that we were going to be rappelling down, and the tallest one was 131 feet! ...
