Our Last Weekend before Going Home

Our first night (Thursday) was spent at the La Selva Biological Station. Here is a picture of a Blue Jeans Poison Dart frog. If you look closely the frog looks like it is wearing a pair of blue jeans.




Friday morning's walk on the trail provided a few interesting animals to look at. We then toured the experimental Chiquita plantation where several sustainable efforts are under way. Here is a picture of the banana sorting, washing, and packing location. The local women as one of their sustainability efforts tell the story of the banana using a play. The process of planing and harvesting bananas was shown to us in the field.









Friday afternoon was a long drive to Puerto Veijo. Saturday morning we snorkled in the Cahuita National Park. The water was not as clear as it could be.


Here is a picture of a White Faced Capuchin. I won't show the pictures of the snakes.


On Saturday afternoon we transferred to Manzanillo where we stayed in the Las Palmas beach hotel.
