A Walk in the clouds....(2/17)




Hello everyone!!
We are just settling into our cabins at Hotel Cabanitas in Fortuna.
We started off our day at InBioparque where we explored the 3 different types of ecological zones of Costa Rica. We saw some great examples of indigenous species (the first being a three-toed sloth!) followed by a presentation on the creation of Costa Rica´s geography and native peoples.

We contiued our day with a drive to the Arenal regionby visiting the Poas Volcano, viewing the huge, green crater while trying to avoid the smell of the sulfur! Luckily, we got to eat a traditional Costa Rican meal at a local eatery to tide us over for the afternoon.

We stopped along the way to check out some shops and local flavor before heading to our hotel for dinner and finally sleep.


More tomorrow, we have a busy day!!!

  1. Looks awesome! Bet you guys are having the time of you lives. Heard that it snowed 6 inches in Norwalk yesterday. Doesn't look like you saw any snow there. Enjoy!
