COSTA RICA
SAN JOSE, POAS VOLCANO AND MANUEL ANTONIO NATIONAL PARK
(Jan 2007)

This little country has an opinion of being a great place to see nature
and wildlife. It´s true but the prices are a lot
more expensive than countries to the north, so I didn´t stay
there very long.
Manuel Antonio National PArk
I went to see the beautiful active crater of volcano Poas, only to find
it covered in thick clouds from early morning. Disappointed I
decided to go to Panama, but I saw a great postcard and I changed my
mind. It showed Manuel Antonio national park and I was there
the next morning. It was really stunning, its white-sand
beaches, jungle and wildlife. Actually, the wildlife was not
so wild any more, because of so many people coming there.
Capuchino monkeys were the biggest attraction, jumping trees
and coming very close. After 2 days of relaxing on the beach
under almond trees, I went to Panama.
