Today there isn't much to report ... at 5 o'clock we were woken up by howler monkeys ... then birds of all kinds came ... Costa Rica is beautiful, but quiet doesn't suit this...

This morning we left Monteverde heading southwest towards the Nicoya Peninsula. The cloud forest lived up to its name. It was steaming like a cauldron in the rain....

What a tremendous experience it was. Recommended by many (especially Christian Barth, so thanks), I got to see a wide range of animals not very much known to Europeans. Placed...

By car, you can go around Lake Arenal to Santa Elena and Monteverde. The area is famous for its cloud forests. However, on our hike in the Santa Elena forest, instead of fog,...

El Arenal

Today we had to repack because we could only take 10 kg to the next accommodation. Enough for two nights, but the rest had to go in Wolfgang's bag. We went back to Sierpe by...

After our driving experiences, we wanted to check the way to Sierpe, where we have to be very early tomorrow. That was a good idea, because the first attempt ended up in the...

National park tour is coming up! After running around the entrance for about four hundred years looking for my guide, it turned out that we had been talking past each other and...
