Costa Rica Rainforest

Did a half to full day activity where we traveled to Sky Adventures Arenal Park where you can see rain forest, cloud forest and the Arenal volcano (very active up until 2010).

We did a three hour walk followed by a trip on their gondola. Both well worth doing.

The gondola going up through the canopy.

CR0014

This was fascinating. It was a moth which got infected by a fungus. The fungus turns the moth into a zombie under its control and eventually kills it.

A view from the top of the gondola.

Going through the canopy.

CR0011

One of the many types of butterflies they have.

CR0010

This is a very small pit viper.

CR0009

One of the two waterfalls we saw. You can see the more adventurous types trying to climb it.

CR0008

Lots of these unusual trees around.

CR0007

Can’t recall the name of this bird but lovely colouring.

CR0006

A somewhat larger pit viper!

CR0002

This is a photo of a tarantula in its hole. Quite glad it didn’t come out to complaint about the light.

CR0003

Typical part of the path.

CR0004

A fairly huge stick insect.

CR0005

One of the dozen or so bridges we crossed on the walk. Amazing views from them.
