Finca Exotica Carate

... a hitch except for the fact that I had forgotten to take my socks off when I put my gumboots on (bought in Puerto Jimenez in case of snakes... see story above) and thus got them absolutely soaked. This mistake led to my feet blistering like mad throughout the walk and created a lot of pain, note to self... NEVER wear your socks when doing a river crossing. I decided that the boots were not going to work and then decided to use my Rockies to do any water movements. <br><br>The path ...

... trying to tell us something; it was a hot day after all, so we gave up on the hiking and spent half the afternoon sunbathing on the beach or swimming in the sea. The rest of the afternoon we drank cold beers at the only bar for about fifteen miles. Five o'clock rolled around surprisingly quickly, which was when the "colectivo" taxi passes by, so we jumped on that for a bumpy ride back to Puerto Jiménez.

... and rocks. There were the usual reef fish all around, the treat though was two shoals we stumbled upon. The first, Blue Jacks, in fairly deep water, maybe 35 feet. This shoal was 500+ strong, all facing the current and tightly packed. The second shoal were hiding on one side of a large rock on the sea floor, Big Eyed Jacks, again maybe 250+ circling in an almost tornado like formation. Another truly ...

... for the 40 minute trek to our tent lodging and I was longing for my nice rain slicker, now being enjoyed by a thief. The Corcovado Tent Lodge consist of about 15 tents, situated 100 feet from the Pacific Ocean. That afternoon, we explored the area around the lodging and were lucky enough to see the four centimeter Green and Black Poison Dart frog, as well as some Spider Monkeys. Even though the rain ...

... theresa rather then just spend the money and go straight down like jenna and myself. which in the end took them close to 12 hours....ridiculous, but they, or at least they say, had a good time and have now named it ámazing race, mal pais!! i call it CRAZINESS!! also, kirsten is very adament about the fact that they only spent $10....which, i mean, come on!!!! worth it for me to just take the shuttle, especially because i was unfortunetly not ...

... itself is magnificent, with incredible plants, butterflies, huge trees going up for ever and covered with monstera, lianas and masses of other vegetation. The park is famous for its scarlet macaws of which there are hundreds. They mate for life but if their continuous squawking is anything to go by their marriages are anything but peaceful. The toucans are incredible with their improbable bills. We haven't seen as many birds as we'd expected but likely because the forest is so dense.

... this. Besides looking like the road is laced with holes created by grenades, there are several river crossings. The road goes right through these rivers, apparently you can't really get through them in the rainy season. We had water up to the bottom part of the door (like two feet off the ground) and saw the water come up over the hood when Charlie drove too fast through it. It was pretty ...

... der "Lodge Luna" ( http://www.lunalodge.com ). Wir sind sofort von der Anlage sehr beeindruckt. Kaum, dass wir ausgestiegen sind, kamen die Besitzerin Lena und ein Angestellter auf uns mit eisgekuehltem Wasser auf uns zu und begruessten uns freundlich. Sie ist Amerizkanerin und betreibt seit gut 7 Jahren diese exklusive Lodge. Nach der obligatorischen Preisfrage fuer eine Unterkunft merken wir, dass es nicht so unsere angepeilte Preisregion ist und wir wahrscheinlich nach etwas ...

Jour 21 C'est aujourd'hui qu'on teste nos jambes et nos sacs a dos. Il parait que c'est 19 km sur le plat, presque toujours dans l'ombre d'un sentier, sauf un bout sur la plage. Ça c'est la théorie. En pratique, nous avons perdu le sentier et marché très longtemps sur la plage qui renfonce à chaque pas sous un soleil sans pitié. Bref, ce fut difficile. En particulier pour Marie-Eve pour qui c'etait la premiere ...
