Costa Rica Vacation August 2016 - Page 4
- On day four in Costa Rica, we were picked up by our driver Greban, in La Fortuna and driven southwest to the
central Pacific coast to a beach town called Manuel Antonio to the Hotel San Bada. We got to see a lot of the
countryside and drove from the mist covered mountains down to the playa or beach area. We stopped for a
break and Kendra bought some Lychee fruit. We also stopped at a bridge over the Tercoles River to see the
crocodiles laying in the sun waiting for one of us to fall in.
- Playa Hermosa Beach near Jaco. Our first sighting of the Pacific
- The Hotel San Bada was 2 blocks from the
beach but it was right next door to the entrance
to Manuel Antonio National Park. The park
is a tropical rain forest with the most diverse
wildlife in Costa Rica. The hotel was also
right next to tall jungle tree with some crazy
leaf, stick and poo throwing monkeys who
happened to mess up my nice clean white
shirt. While we were in Manuel Antonio
National park, we saw three kinds of iguanas,
monkeys, racoons, sloths and crabs.
- On our fifth day in Costa Rica, we got up pretty early to get a guided tour of the Parque Nacional
Manual Antonio (thats what my ticket says). Our tour guide Esteban started us out early so that
we could see all of the critters before it got too hot and bright. Finished off with a swim at the
park beach
- Manuel Antonio Beach, Costa Rica
- Who is more burnt?
