| | Our first field trip was to Poas Volcano -- here is its crater lake. | |
| | | Next we headed north to Caño Negro, a freshwater lake and marshland. | |
|
| | We really roughed it at the Natural Lodge Caño Negro. | |
| | | We enjoyed a great trip with Ernesto as our guide. | |
|
| | We saw lots of Caiman and over 100 species of birds at Caño Negro. | |
| | | We loved the scenic beauty of Caño Negro and environs. | |
|
| | Next we headed up to Bosque de Paz, nestled in a verdant valley. | |
| | | Bosque de Paz is one of the most wonderful places we have ever been. | |
|
| | Hummingbirds are abundant; this is a Green-crowned Brilliant. | |
| | | Great Currasow; rescued from captivity and reacclimating to the wild. | |
|
| | Bosque de Paz is loaded with tropical flowers. | |
| | | There are amazing tropical insects here, such as this katydid. | |
