Our stay at Sarapiqui was unique and very special. We were smack dab in the middle of the rainforest day and night. Sorry to leave, but more adventures await.
Our little bus took us to the shore of the Sarapiqui river where we boarded a river boat. Th idea was to seek wildlife as we cruised along (slowly). The driver kept a lookout and pointed out some spectacular sights. A few: Many birds e.g. blue heron, snake bird (Anhinga), kingfisher. Animals included monkeys, alligator, bats, turtles, sloths. I have pix but no time to upload them now.
Next we went to a pineapple plantation. We saw the crops, heard a very informative presentation, and ate a lot of pineapple. Tour finished with giving us pina coladas!
Raphael our guide took us to lunch at a typical “soda”—a roadside cafe with typical food. Fish, salad, rice & beans (of course) etc. We were Surrounded by locals in this busy restaurant, so our meal felt very non-touristy.
And finally we drove to the Arenal area—-to a resort overlooking the volcano. Merle & I managed to get in a quick massage before our short lecture about volcanos.
This resort is comprised of individual casitas, so we each have our own little building. Nice!
