COSTA RICA

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

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.
