Costa Rica

Stop No.1: In the capital of Costa Rica, San Jose, there are many parks to visit. This square is where the youth gather to dance or play sports. The zoo is not recommended as there seem to be prison-like conditions, as we saw during a demonstration in front of the zoo.

The hardworking ants can be seen everywhere. They bravely carry their large piece of leaf to the anthill. They only stop working in the rain.

Howler monkeys... small monkeys, but they can make a lot of noise. It sounds like a giant dog barking.

Surrounded by jungle, we reached the lodge of Rio Tropicales. No cellphone reception, no Wi-Fi. And of course, no glass windows in the dining room or rooms, as it is always warm.

Stop No.4: The Arenal Volcano with a hike through a national park and a small boat tour very close to the volcano. Once again, we were very, very lucky to have such a good view of the volcano.

The first parts were about cocoa. Unfortunately, it is not grown there because Monteverde is too high for the mosquitoes that are necessary for pollinating the cocoa flower. The raw cocoa bean tastes like candy. It is dried and ground, and already tastes delicious with vanilla and sugar.

The next parts were about sugar production. Two men from the group turned the sugar cane through the rollers until they were completely squeezed. Sugar cane looks like bamboo, it's just not hollow. The sugar water mixed with ginger and lemon then resulted in a small cup of 'toad drink' for everyone.

The last parts were about the harvest and production of coffee. Since Costa Rica is a small country and therefore has little coffee, it must be of high quality. Each bean is individually picked when it is red, and the 4 shells are removed through drying and grinding. The last shell falls off during roasting.
