I’m back from Costa Rica
I’ve been in Costa Rica for the last week, hanging out in the jungle, spying on sloths and monkeys.
What an incredible place!
We spent a few days in the mountains near San Isidro, at an eco-lodge called Monte Azul. Then we moved down to the coast, staying at a very chic joint called Oxygen up the hill from tiny Uvita.
The highlight? An all-day visit to Corcovada National Park. It took 3 hours to reach the ranger station on the northern edge of this remote park, but the reward was incredible: Spider monkeys, coatimundis, scarlet macaws, poison frogs, sloths, huge blue butterflies and more.
I’ll be writing about my trip for the newspaper later this month. Stay tuned…
In the meantime, here are a few photos from my trip. I love that you can see the greenish tint to the sloth’s fur. That’s mold! The other shots show the beach at Corcovado, a scarlet macaw and a capuchin monkey.
