El Rio Torres
We learned so much about bats - end the stigma! These are beautiful creatures
Teaching our peers about what we saw and learned
The sunsets here are unbelievable
Teaching our peers about what we saw and learned part 2
For our last night in Campanario station we all signed a plaque that will hang on the ceiling for years to come
Getting to know about the Paramo
Goodbye for now Corcovado!
We've created monsters!
Oh the places you will go
All aboard the boat to Corcovado
Back on the mainland, we travelled to Manuel Antonio national park
This may be beautiful but it is an example of an invasive species
We kept our eyes open to the many animals around, but also saw the negative effects of tourism on the park
What's that up in the trees?
We saw at least 9 sloths in the park - amazing but way more than we would expect to see in a pristine forest
Monkeys!!!
Out best sloth impressions - we are ready for adventure
Welcome to paradise - aka Estacion Biologica Campanario
Our classroom has the best views
Fresh coconuts were all over the place - opening them was easier said than done
Determination and fun are the keys
Teamwork makes the dream work
Playing cards and enjoying our new Costan Rican family
A little rain in the rainforest - no worries in the world
Our guide Ferner taught us all about this beautiful reserve. We saw a sloth, several birds, a snake, and more
The sap of this tree is used as a medicine to help settle an upset stomach. It kinda tastes like vanilla too mmm
A beautiful insect we saw along the way
Into the jungle we go
Natural spa day
On the lookout
Hands up if you love Costa Rica
Isla del Cano
Learning about how species find their way to the islands
Let's get tropical
We love to be under the sea
Getting to know more about the journey ahead of us
Ready for action
Hotel Don Carlos in San Jose
We saw so many fish including a puffer fish and even a small white tip shark
Exploring the capital
To the bat cave!
Katya from La Carpio, taught us about the struggles as well as the triumphs this community faces
Waiting for rush hour
Looking over La Carpio
She got one!
