Costa Rica Day 11

Today we took the Wild Waterfalls hike, which was totally amazing. Much of the time was spent walking in the river across slippery rocks, seeing some gorgeous butterflies and interesting lizards. Our guide, Edwin, was very friendly and helpful. At the first major waterfall we also saw a Boa Constrictor! It was climbing up the rock and is a pretty rare sight. Then as we were leaving it got too close to the water and fell down a few feet closer to us.

The next waterfall fell into a small pond which some of us took a quick dip in. The water was cold, but refreshing. Then we came back to the lodge and relaxed some more. At lunch we talked to a couple from Canada, who were really nice, Margaret and Pete. Then before dinner we watched the local school kids perform a folk dance.

Enjoy, I spent two weeks in CR two years ago. I drove all over the country, went whitewater rafting, sea kayaking, mangrove kayak touring and dolphin running. It is a beautiful country. Try the zip line if you get a chance, awesome.
