Jurassic Park in the jungle (4.5.22)

Imechapishwa: 05.05.2022

Today we're taking a trip to one of the most remote corners of Costa Rica: 120km before the Nicaraguan border, there's a place where someone has put up a resort and a DINOpark. And we have nothing better to do. 😜. So off we go. After a 2-hour drive for 80km on gravel roads, we arrive at the 'reception', where (E)Stanley is already waiting for us and informs us that we have to go another 4km into the wilderness to see the dinos. So off we go again across the gravel, over a shallow river (finally it's clear why we're driving a Jeep) and arrive where Jimmy welcomes us. For a change, we're doing the tour exclusively and alone. I'm starting to like the off-season 😉. So we look at 27 dinos that roar and growl, except for 3, which are broken, and we're told how real they are. They even breathe. Ehhh yeah. I almost missed that. Sebastian thinks there aren't enough dinos. Frank demands to get off for the first time on the trip because the dinos live practically in a mosquito nest and I'm sweating like crazy. A complete success 😂.

Anyway, we have VIP bracelets and spend the rest of the day at the resort, which advertises itself with thermal pools and animals. The slide is running, the thermal pools are doing what they're supposed to do, but you can't shake the feeling that not many tourists have been here for a long time... Waterfalls turned off, a pool with 'broth' as Frank calls it, frogs and caimans are absent, the turtles make us a little sorry. At least the butterfly house is really beautiful and hummingbirds are also present. And lunch is great too.

In the afternoon, we make our way to our next stop Tamarindo on the Pacific coast for diving.

The Dive Center is pre-booked, but I've been struggling with a twisted neck for weeks and this morning it was even worse than the past few days. With this neck, I can never shoulder a jacket with a tank... well, we'll decide tomorrow.
